@@las3k91 but i noticed just now, the container in video, should be almost full, i have a very similar container, it can take max 6L of oil.....and it will be almost completely full, that in video is half full, he did not extract all the oil.
I've read the comments and here's my experience. Bought a schwaben oil extractor in 2005 for my 2000 Audi A4 Quattro, because I moved into an apartment. Did regular 5000 mile oil changes and filter changes at 10k (bought 10 mann oil filters since they don't sell them locally). It's 2019 and I still have the Audi and it doesn't hardly use any oil between oil changes. In Germany, they change the oil through the dipstick for all vehicles when you get your car serviced (well, those cars that still have dipsticks). Only problems that I've had was one oxygen snsor fail in 2005 (replaced both), MAF failed in 2006, one ignition coil went bad in 2010 (changed all of them) and I just changed the intercooler houses in 2019. Runs great. I'd been meaning to replace it, starting in 2010, but I don't like any of the new cars and I save heaps of money every year (no car payment). I'm waiting for it to die but it won't.

To all those talking about debris in the oil left behind, as he said, you do this on a warm engine. Debris would be suspended in the liquid, that is if as the name says, OIL FILTER has not caught the particles. Hence he says change the oil filter too! If still worried, just have a full oil sump drain done during a full service and not an interim. Save you some $$$.
@@duypham75 0:54 “we’ve got all our old oil extracted, & we’ve changed our oil filter”. Changing your oil filter is literally one of the steps to doing an oil change. Why would you unscrew an old filter, suck out the old oil, put new oil in, and then decide to put the old dirty filter back on? 🤣

This looks pretty cool for sure: Clean, convenient and fast. I was impressed by how well the presenter was dressed doing an oil change. But I was reading through the comments, and the concerns about residual debris and filter has merit. I use a Fumoto valve and that's easy enough albeit being not as clean.
it does not have merit, the residuals/debris is next to nothing. do you not realize the oil filter is there to prevent that exact issue? plus if you already keep up with oil changes, leaving a couple millimeters of oil will not blow up your engine
I just picked up one of these Schwaben extractors and its how I will be changing my oil on my Audi's from now on. I used to just pay for oil changes cause I live in a condo community and cant work on cars in the parking lot. This extractor is simple and easy. I go to my local park and change the oil in like 25 min. Couple of things for anyone changing their own oil on their Audi for the first time. I have a 2.0 A4 Avant and the last tech who changed the oil tightened the filter so much the inner part that screws onto the engine came off and then I had to wrestle with getting that off the engine what a PIA. So don't think you have the wrong oil filter because the one off the engine is broken! lolz Get a pair of pliers and slowly loosen it so you can unscrew it with your hands and throw it as hard as you can in to a trash can. The 3.2 engine oil filter has to be torqued down (I forget the spec) the 2.0T engine filter is hand tight then one good turn until its tight with the oil filter tool not superman tight. I would recommend to purchase a dip stick makes this whole process way more accurate with getting the exact amount of oil in the engine, if your one of those OCD owners lol. If you have a 3.2 engine make sure your oil filter is the same size as the one your replacing. I purchased a replacement kit and they gave me the wrong filter it was too short but i didn't notice until I was done and got a low oil pressure warning light when I started engine. Replaced with the correct size filter and no more low oil pressure warning.
@@crunch3rRUclips Do you still own that Schwaben extractor? How is it holding up? Any issues with it? I'm looking into doing my own oil change for my GTI as my dealer is incompetent, it takes them 8 hours to do an oil change...
@@drsnowmon Its holding up great, it was one of the best purchase I made as far as car gear goes. I rarely pay for an oil change these days unless im feeling lazy. Its super ez and takes like 30 min or so. if your a DIY person this is a must. Most if not all dealerships use an extractor these days.
From experience: it's important to have the engine oil very warm but not: (1) really hot because it crinkles up the draw tube so it can't even be effectively pushed deep down into the sump; and then (2) if the oil is still too hot the tube under the suction really narrows by flattening itself and so can take forever for it draw out the oil. Also obviously you need to know how much oil is in the sump to confirm from the gauge marks on the white container-piston that you have it all. But at the end of drawing up the oil the tube line shows the oil in it as all bubbly...also it makes a gushing noise too. I wait a full two hours for the hot car engine to cool down (ie., after a drive in the Audi) and then it draws out the oil nicely.
GREAT info.. I am about to perform this tomorrow on a GTI and there are SO many account telling u to extract the oil when HOT. I will warm the engine thanks to you.
@@bjjbrawler1 - reply back with how you went 🙂 - some people are fanatic about getting every last drop, which perhaps makes sense with extended interval changes, as the old oil is really black and had it. But with the suction pump it's so convenient and straight forward I change the oil quite frequently and the "old" oil is still in good nick, since not instantly contaminating the fresh oil IMO.
I use similar extractor/pump on A4 B8 3.0TDI. Oil capacity is 7,4 liters. After extraction, if I put 7,4 liters in, I’m exactly on the top mark. So at least on 3.0TDI one can get all the oil out. And for any potential crap in the pan... well, it either stays there or gets caught in the filter. I do trust on it that if you extract hot oil (like you are supposed to do), you also get the most crap out from the pan. And crap shouldn’t even accumulate if you change good quality oils with short enough intervals.
I have one of these pumps and tried it on my car since it also has a top mounted oil filter but I noticed it would still leave a little over half a quart of oil in the engine. I don’t use it to change my oil but this pump is perfect for changing transmission fluid!
The secret to extracting all the oil through the dipstick tube is to air seal the connection at the dipstick tube. I made another rubber stopper but you can use duct tape in a pinch. I just did it in a Mercedes E350 and extracted all 6.4 liters of oil through the dipstick tube with the oil filler cap and oil filter open
I use the Mityvac 7201 Fluid Extractor Plus and it works awesome with these top filter engines. In my case, it's an Audi 3.0T. I can literally change the oil in my business suit without getting a drop on me. Messiest part is taking out the used oil filter.
Tried this product but the dipstick guide tube on my engine is very narrow and only the thinnest tube will fit down to start the extraction. Because its thin, it would not extract properly and it would take hours. I sent it back. If your dipstick guide tube can take the medium or large tube, it might be ok. Gone back to the drain plug method. After draining, i leave the bolt out and pour a small amount of clean oil from the top to flush any remaining sediment at the bottom of the oil pan then install bolt and refill. I know it wont take all of it out but my Dimple magnetic sump plug catches lot of muck too. Great investment.
The top tip you cannot beat the old fashioned way in my book. I know it can be a pain to jack a car up and crack the bolt of the pan but it’s the best way. Get your engine hot and crack the bolt and leave it to drain your engine will last longer doing it right.
VW / AUDI / SKODA /SEAT sump plugs often strip out the thread in the soft alloy sump, exactly what happened to me. I refitted the sump plug with PTFA tape to secure and now drain my oil this way from the top end of engine. TDi engine is on 180,000 miles and still runs fine.
Sure there's some leftover old oil (100ml) at the bottom of the pan, but that doesn't matter if you change your oil regularly. This method comes in handy for people that have no means to lift their cars and don't want to spend money at a garage..
Bought this extractor from ECS after watching this video. Big mistake. The presenter makes it look like an easy, safe operation. If the hose kinks in the oil pan you are screwed. A hot engine makes it more likely. A 20 minute oil change has turned into 2 straight days of trying to remove the hose, and possibly hundreds of $$ in mechanic's bills. Wish I would have done more research.
EXACT same thing happened to me yesterday. Still trying to figure out how to get the tube out. The hot engine made the tube softer, and when trying to pull it out, it "stretches" the tube. Now it's stuck and grabbing on something, and I'm afraid that it will be broken off in the dipstick tube if I yank on it too hard. I'm trying to research how to remove the dipstick tube.
@Hagbard Celine Thanks. Unfortunately, I removed the dipstick tube, BUT it wasnt enough. I had to drop the oil pan last night (what a pain) The tube was in pretty bad shape, but in tact. It was curled up all the way at the other end of the oil pan. It was NOT coming out withiut dropping that pan. For anyone that uses one of these things- be careful! DO NOT USE ON VERY WARM ENGINE. As a matter of fact, don't use it on any engine that is any warmer than a hotter summer days ambient engine temp. Its not worth it. If you have to do it in the winter, don't do it after you drive. Do it on a cold engine after running the engine for 1 or 2 minutes MAX! Also, when you stick the extraction tube down the dipstick tube, DO NOT push it any firther after the first stop the tube will begin to coil.
Yeah this is never admitted or discussed so I’ll tell you flat out while this is cool and a mess free process it takes a while. That oil under vacuum isn’t just going to pour out in 90 seconds and boom you’re done. Be ready to sit there for at least 20-30 minutes depending on how warm your oil is. Also that oil extractor isn’t schwaben it’s ther sticker over the same crap you get on eBay or other suppliers from China they just slap a sticker and say it’s theirs. I use a pela 6000 it comes With metal enforced tubing.
Just got one from you guys, very easy process, pour a half of quart after and pumped as well, it showed just under 6 liters witch is low, maybe there is still some left, but it took 5 and a half liters to fill it back witch is the right amount, so maybe it did, anyway it’s going to save me money from now on, dealer will be around 100 even with coupons
In the beginning he used the red capped tube and when he pulled out the tube it was the black capped tub (its the middle female connector) wonder if the black fits better in VW/Audi dipstick area
Great piece of kit these save crawling under the car annd removing all the guard etc too much hassle dead easy with one of these it extracts every last bit of oil highly recommend it
A question for anyone who has used this pump. Both my cars I do oil changes on hold more oil than this has a capacity for. Can you stop extracting the oil part way through the oil change to either drain some out of the reservoir or pour some into another container? I try to use the drain plug method as often as possible, but this way would be convenient when the weather is cold and it’s tough to pull the plastic covers under the engine. I know a lot of the oil change franchises drain the oil this way but that pulling the plug is the best way.
I used this on a mates car it's pretty useful BUT you don't wanna do this for lots of times as there's still dirty oil on the bottom.Some time you need to drain it then pour new/clean oil in and let that drain out as that'll get all the crap out.Imagine a dirty sink after you done washing up and turned the tap/faucet on to rinse away the crap...and that's why you engine sludge's up folks it's how you drain it out properly.
nuget102 lmao wow who would even think of using an air drill to tighten a drain plug that should be tightened to 22 foot pounds... that dude should have his mechanic licence revoked.. if he even has one that is
NO!! you are totally wrong. An oil vacuum pump pulls more oil than draining the car from the oil plug. A car's oil pan is NOT like your kitchen sink stop being foolish. Your oil Pan has small sections almost like honey comb. Why? because it dissipates the heat that builds up in your motor. Draining the oil from below leaves oil sitting in those cavities, unless you can shake the car from side to side you will never drain those cavities. A vacuum pump actually lift the oil from those areas. Stop saying things you don't fully understand. I have been using vacuum pump for 5yrs my previous car a Jetta TDI had over 100 thousand miles. It was traded in due to VW diesel issue but that car drove like new no engine sludge. Pulling your oil drain plug results in oil leaks, most people never use a torque wrench and the plug area gets damaged over time.
most modern euro cars, like this A4, have a top mounted filter. if you don't have a top mounted filter, you'll still need to raise the car to access it.
We have this but it takes a lot more than 3-4 pumps . We have to keep pumping and my arm gets wore out . How many pumps should it take? I notice a break in your video. Normally takes like 20-30 pumps and continuing pumping thru out the oil change
I used to think so too. I had a pela oil extractor and I had to continuously pump the oil out. I ended up buying one from ecs tuning and I didn't pump it more than 10 times. It got everything out very quickly, less than 5 mins I think. I'm starting to believe I had a defective Pela extractor before.
I have the one that uses an air compressor... love it. Having a paper filter motor makes it very easy. But I'll at least change drain washer ever other oil change.....
Looks a lot like a pela 6000 oil extractor, i love this thing. Using it for over 6 years now. I don't understand why you buy 5 x 1L oil bottles, when you buy a can of 20 liters it's a lot cheaper.
Any Germany made car has no dip stick well at least not bmw ,Audi,mercedes, Volkswagen etc I don't know about rolls Royce because it was owned by bmw and still might be but I'm not sure if it has a dip stick most likely nope
Funny I usually jack it up take the plug out and run air through the dipstick hole to blow all the crap out on my 135i. 217k with full bolt on and all I go through is transmissions. Works for me
Hot engine soft plastic tubing won't it melt? great idea if you overfill the engine but I don't mind spending a couple of extra minutes getting under the car on a piece of cardboard it's really not that messy we have the right catch pan. Still as an alternative so all power to you.
Does the extension come with the extractor or do you have a link for the plastic extension? It looks like you are getting that tube all the way down the dipstick drain.
I've actually confirmed that the top-side extraction leaves tons of debris in the engine. A large amount of the debris comes from the dealers used at the factory as they flake off on the inside. Especially if there are repairs, their will be fragments inside because most people use too much. Even a small amount will leave a small amount of flashing on the inside that will fall out. Anyhow, my car had only dealer services with top-side oil extractions. The first change I performed brought tons of chunks outs and lots of stuff was coming out during the trickle phase when the topside extractors stop working. Just buy new crush washers for every oil change and you're good.
so, which tube do you use, the red or the black? First you inserted the red tube, but when you took it out it was the black tube. I got this unit today and no where on it says which color tube is for what. It says use the correct tube for your need, but it doesn't say which one is used for what?
It's as easy as in the video Juan! But i would recommend draining it by the sump plug every 3 oil changes thou as there's still crap on the bottom sump.I've used this myself and it's idiot proof only takes 5 mins.
@@tardeliesmagic by your definition, there are a lot of idiots on this comment section with stories of breaking tubes inside their engine and such lmao
He's not worried, this cheapest ever form of advertising will pay for a new one ... it^s the ONLY reason for this video. NOT to show you how, but to SELL YOU HOW something.
So it extract the oil filter too? If I still have to Jack the car up and change the filter this doesn't make sense when I could just remove the bolt while I'm at it
I want to try this with my Kia Cadenza, but how are you sure you get all of the oil out? I don't think this would be as accurate as just unbolting the drain plug.
I have this device... Tried it today... *(3rd use)... Failed... Wont hold vacuum.. I checked everything... Sounds like something is being bypassed in the pump assembly.
@@Yumbutteredsausage I've used it before with zero issues. The tube was as far down as possible,,, Thanks though... I'm just changing the oil the old-fashioned way now. It's a good opportunity to get under the engine and check for any issues.
Well you're gonna have to get under the car anyway so might as well undo the drain plug. It'll be quicker and easier than sucking it out too so there really is no point in this.
Not on all cars! Many cars, like the Audi in this video, have a top-mounted oil filter. And don't worry, we changed our filter, we just wanted to showcase the tool!
You don't need to purchase a dipstick since the dipstick hole is there from the factory. However, we do highly recommend our dipstick so you can accurately check your levels the good old fashion way. Here's a link: goo.gl/9TuAvQ

this is ' doing it right' its how millions of oil changes are done. You are not always right.
Oh hey it’s Zach jobe
Just bought one this week about to try it today 🙂
VW / AUDI / SKODA /SEAT sump plugs often strip out the thread in the soft alloy sump, exactly what happened to me. I refitted the sump plug with PTFA tape to secure and now drain my oil this way from the top end of engine. TDi engine is on 180,000 miles and still runs fine.
olso it's very important the way this guy holds the bottle. keep it clean
Definitely the way to go if the filter is in the right place. Looks like a quality pump.
Sure there's some leftover old oil (100ml) at the bottom of the pan, but that doesn't matter if you change your oil regularly. This method comes in handy for people that have no means to lift their cars and don't want to spend money at a garage..
Bought this extractor from ECS after watching this video. Big mistake. The presenter makes it look like an easy, safe operation. If the hose kinks in the oil pan you are screwed. A hot engine makes it more likely. A 20 minute oil change has turned into 2 straight days of trying to remove the hose, and possibly hundreds of $$ in mechanic's bills. Wish I would have done more research.
What car you got? I bought this extractor way before known this video, did few times for my GTI, no issue so far...
EXACT same thing happened to me yesterday. Still trying to figure out how to get the tube out. The hot engine made the tube softer, and when trying to pull it out, it "stretches" the tube. Now it's stuck and grabbing on something, and I'm afraid that it will be broken off in the dipstick tube if I yank on it too hard. I'm trying to research how to remove the dipstick tube.
@Hagbard Celine Thanks. Unfortunately, I removed the dipstick tube, BUT it wasnt enough. I had to drop the oil pan last night (what a pain) The tube was in pretty bad shape, but in tact. It was curled up all the way at the other end of the oil pan. It was NOT coming out withiut dropping that pan. For anyone that uses one of these things- be careful! DO NOT USE ON VERY WARM ENGINE. As a matter of fact, don't use it on any engine that is any warmer than a hotter summer days ambient engine temp. Its not worth it. If you have to do it in the winter, don't do it after you drive. Do it on a cold engine after running the engine for 1 or 2 minutes MAX! Also, when you stick the extraction tube down the dipstick tube, DO NOT push it any firther after the first stop the tube will begin to coil.
I turn my car on for about 3-4min warm engine. Not super boiling...lol...
Works like a charm..
Yeah this is never admitted or discussed so I’ll tell you flat out while this is cool and a mess free process it takes a while. That oil under vacuum isn’t just going to pour out in 90 seconds and boom you’re done. Be ready to sit there for at least 20-30 minutes depending on how warm your oil is.
Also that oil extractor isn’t schwaben it’s ther sticker over the same crap you get on eBay or other suppliers from China they just slap a sticker and say it’s theirs. I use a pela 6000 it comes
With metal enforced tubing.
As that Zach Jobe from @Donut Media?
its very good idea to change oil between official service oil changes for TFSI engines - will try to do it myslef
You still need to change the oil filter, so just siphoning the oil out isn't enough, the filter has to be changed also
and the oil filter what?
Hahahahaha
Luca Fuoco dying 🤣
He did say a for top mounted filters like German cars
@@lucafuoco1179 LMFAO
Here's how you change it on a B8 A4 ruclips.net/video/sErylPCTv2U/видео.htmlm11s
ive been pumping forever. I hate getting under the car. Im pretty sure a lot of high end dealerships do this. its the best
This is how I started doing the oil change, on my B8.5 allroad. As I'm getting too old to go underneath lol
Just got one from you guys, very easy process, pour a half of quart after and pumped as well, it showed just under 6 liters witch is low, maybe there is still some left, but it took 5 and a half liters to fill it back witch is the right amount, so maybe it did, anyway it’s going to save me money from now on, dealer will be around 100 even with coupons
In the beginning he used the red capped tube and when he pulled out the tube it was the black capped tub (its the middle female connector) wonder if the black fits better in VW/Audi dipstick area
you forgot to tell everyone to change your oil filter too lol
Great piece of kit these save crawling under the car annd removing all the guard etc too much hassle dead easy with one of these it extracts every last bit of oil highly recommend it
A question for anyone who has used this pump. Both my cars I do oil changes on hold more oil than this has a capacity for. Can you stop extracting the oil part way through the oil change to either drain some out of the reservoir or pour some into another container? I try to use the drain plug method as often as possible, but this way would be convenient when the weather is cold and it’s tough to pull the plastic covers under the engine. I know a lot of the oil change franchises drain the oil this way but that pulling the plug is the best way.
Can someone who has done this tell me is this supposed to be easy?
I did the exact same thing and I had to pump continously over an hour
Brilliant thanks for posting I’ve just ordered one of these off eBay. Much better than lying on your back messing on with undertray sump plug etc.
How do u like the product.? Looking into orering one
EastOaklandS65Feen it’s brilliant, so easy. I did an oil change in around 15 mins and no mess
@@Paul-eu9jp fa sho thnx man. Ima buy one too now👌
EastOaklandS65Feen no probs mate 👍
I am not sure if it extract all the oil.
It gets it all
I used this on a mates car it's pretty useful BUT you don't wanna do this for lots of times as there's still dirty oil on the bottom.Some time you need to drain it then pour new/clean oil in and let that drain out as that'll get all the crap out.Imagine a dirty sink after you done washing up and turned the tap/faucet on to rinse away the crap...and that's why you engine sludge's up folks it's how you drain it out properly.
Tardeli costantini and if your drain bolt is stuck? Previous owner took my car to a shop that decided to put the bolt on using a impact gun.
nuget102 lmao wow who would even think of using an air drill to tighten a drain plug that should be tightened to 22 foot pounds... that dude should have his mechanic licence revoked.. if he even has one that is
NO!! you are totally wrong. An oil vacuum pump pulls more oil than draining the car from the oil plug.
A car's oil pan is NOT like your kitchen sink stop being foolish. Your oil Pan has small sections almost like honey comb.
Why? because it dissipates the heat that builds up in your motor.
Draining the oil from below leaves oil sitting in those cavities, unless you can shake the car from side to side you will never drain those cavities.
A vacuum pump actually lift the oil from those areas. Stop saying things you don't fully understand.
I have been using vacuum pump for 5yrs my previous car a Jetta TDI had over 100 thousand miles. It was traded in due to VW diesel issue but that car drove like new no engine sludge.
Pulling your oil drain plug results in oil leaks, most people never use a torque wrench and the plug area gets damaged over time.
Be good to see after its been extracted, to remove the sump drain plug and see how much is leftvover
A gas engine car without a dipstick? Lol avoid that like the plague!
I love this tool. I use it for everything EXCEPT oil changes because it leaves too much oil in the sump.
My 2008 Audi TT has the oil filter housing at the bottom, however, the transmission filter is up top.
Bajka nie trzeba mechaniora...ile toto kosztuje
Is this Zach from @donutmedia ?!
Doesn't the tube melt if it is inserted into the engine when the latter is at a high temperature?
Is this not the guy from Donut ?
Wait hold on is this jobe??????
what about the oil filter, still need to jack the car and exchange when oil change no?
most modern euro cars, like this A4, have a top mounted filter. if you don't have a top mounted filter, you'll still need to raise the car to access it.
Thanks for this how to video. Approx how much of the old oil is left after siphoning?
Perfect video. It's even an audi like my car.
We have this but it takes a lot more than 3-4 pumps . We have to keep pumping and my arm gets wore out . How many pumps should it take? I notice a break in your video. Normally takes like 20-30 pumps and continuing pumping thru out the oil change
You lazy moon hahahahahaa
I used to think so too. I had a pela oil extractor and I had to continuously pump the oil out. I ended up buying one from ecs tuning and I didn't pump it more than 10 times. It got everything out very quickly, less than 5 mins I think. I'm starting to believe I had a defective Pela extractor before.
Is this the guy on Donut Media now?
I have the one that uses an air compressor... love it. Having a paper filter motor makes it very easy. But I'll at least change drain washer ever other oil change.....
when oil goes out of the sump hole it brings lots of debris and crap with it from the bottom of the sump
much easier with the oil filter on top of the engine. much faster too. I'm planning on getting one of these extractors soon.
So, are we going to ignore the replacement of the oil filter step? Are they now top-mounted as well?
Using this tool on a Honda outboard. Does removing the engine oil filler cap actually make it suck out faster?
Looks a lot like a pela 6000 oil extractor, i love this thing. Using it for over 6 years now. I don't understand why you buy 5 x 1L oil bottles, when you buy a can of 20 liters it's a lot cheaper.
how would you pump the oil in an e92 it has no dipstick
You're fucked. Audi at least has a tube, even though there's no stick in it. Bmw just got rid of it altogether
It doesn’t have a dipstick because you’re not suppose to change the oil at all. Just keep driving it
BMWs are garbage now.
Any Germany made car has no dip stick well at least not bmw ,Audi,mercedes, Volkswagen etc I don't know about rolls Royce because it was owned by bmw and still might be but I'm not sure if it has a dip stick most likely nope
@@Tec-fv2xb your a nuckle head that's why your cars will never last long " not supposed to change the oil " 🤦 👿
Funny I usually jack it up take the plug out and run air through the dipstick hole to blow all the crap out on my 135i. 217k with full bolt on and all I go through is transmissions. Works for me
Hot engine soft plastic tubing won't it melt? great idea if you overfill the engine but I don't mind spending a couple of extra minutes getting under the car on a piece of cardboard it's really not that messy we have the right catch pan. Still as an alternative so all power to you.
The whole idea of doing an oil change is to get rid of debris that will sit at the bottom of your oil pan. Sucking the oil up is not good.
First the filter than the oil thank you 💯
Does the extension come with the extractor or do you have a link for the plastic extension? It looks like you are getting that tube all the way down the dipstick drain.
What about the rubish at the engine bottom?
So how do you empty out the dirty oil from the extractor?
New cars more often do not have dipsticks. How can we do an oil change without crawling under the car?
Nice, he's using Castrol Edge Extended. This is a very good oil that lasts a whopping 15K miles!
Fantastic! Why do we get charged so much to have this done? Buying an extractor pump today.
Curious as to why installing the oil filter was skipped since that's a part of "changing the oil". Easiest oil change?
I've actually confirmed that the top-side extraction leaves tons of debris in the engine. A large amount of the debris comes from the dealers used at the factory as they flake off on the inside. Especially if there are repairs, their will be fragments inside because most people use too much. Even a small amount will leave a small amount of flashing on the inside that will fall out.
Anyhow, my car had only dealer services with top-side oil extractions. The first change I performed brought tons of chunks outs and lots of stuff was coming out during the trickle phase when the topside extractors stop working. Just buy new crush washers for every oil change and you're good.
What do you think about the clean oil drain tool??
Or the ez valve drain plug? I kinda want one for my b6 but I’m having mixed feelings
so, which tube do you use, the red or the black? First you inserted the red tube, but when you took it out it was the black tube. I got this unit today and no where on it says which color tube is for what. It says use the correct tube for your need, but it doesn't say which one is used for what?
Totally getting one for my next oil change
It's as easy as in the video Juan! But i would recommend draining it by the sump plug every 3 oil changes thou as there's still crap on the bottom sump.I've used this myself and it's idiot proof only takes 5 mins.
@@tardeliesmagic by your definition, there are a lot of idiots on this comment section with stories of breaking tubes inside their engine and such lmao
After this process is done, open the drain bolt from bottom to see how much black oil is still there in the chamber.
i used this on my VW. 6 liters of oil goes in and this thing extracted 6 liters of oil.
Dude put an oil rag in his sweater pocket...
He's not worried, this cheapest ever form of advertising will pay for a new one ... it^s the ONLY reason for this video. NOT to show you how, but to SELL YOU HOW something.
A wild Zach Jobe appears! #donutmedia
I thought it kinda looked like Jobes. Had to do a double take there for a minute, then remembered her came from a tuning company prior to donut.
A oil change is easy enough it doesn't take me long. This might be good in the winter when I don't want to roll the jack around on ice and snow.
I’m watching this video saying, this guy looks just like the guy from Donut media with a shorter hair, and it is.
So it extract the oil filter too? If I still have to Jack the car up and change the filter this doesn't make sense when I could just remove the bolt while I'm at it
depends on the car, audis and vws have the filters up top
I want to try this with my Kia Cadenza, but how are you sure you get all of the oil out? I don't think this would be as accurate as just unbolting the drain plug.
Any luck for newer cars that dont have dipsticks?
kern417 all new vw and audi still have the dipstick tube, just with a plug in it. if you have a bmw you're out of luck.
Can I do this on my bmw 323i cause my oil cap have no stick and is a bigger hole than the tube
Wtf!? This is the coolest thing I ever seen
I have this device... Tried it today... *(3rd use)... Failed... Wont hold vacuum.. I checked everything... Sounds like something is being bypassed in the pump assembly.
@@Yumbutteredsausage I've used it before with zero issues. The tube was as far down as possible,,, Thanks though... I'm just changing the oil the old-fashioned way now. It's a good opportunity to get under the engine and check for any issues.
How do you clean the extractor?
I understand, but the filter change is still the same?
Changing the filter is the same process regardless of how the old oil is removed.
Well you're gonna have to get under the car anyway so might as well undo the drain plug. It'll be quicker and easier than sucking it out too so there really is no point in this.
youtube account I agree if the extractor could extract oil filter too without having to get under car then we talking! Lol
youtube account not all cars need to get under for the filter my camaro2011 it’s on the top right next to oil cap really handy
Tim Lwig I want my next car to be like that but can't help but wonder if it'll remove all the bad stuff vs the traditional method.
It's a giant vampire pump. We use a scaled down version to check the oil in military vehicles. Interesting.
Don't you still need to jack up the car to change the oil filter?
Not on all cars! Many cars, like the Audi in this video, have a top-mounted oil filter. And don't worry, we changed our filter, we just wanted to showcase the tool!
Not on a B8 A4. It's right on top beside the intake manifold.
I have a 2016 Audi A6, can I use this for that car too? Is there a list of cars that this supports.
Nice! Gotta get me one of those! Wait...A4 B8 don't have dipsticks though. This would require the mod first.
You don't need to purchase a dipstick since the dipstick hole is there from the factory. However, we do highly recommend our dipstick so you can accurately check your levels the good old fashion way. Here's a link: goo.gl/9TuAvQ
90% sure thats Zach J whos at dounut now!
🤔
Now take the drain plug out before you add any oil. Guaranty there will be close to half a quart or more left in there.
