The lesson learned when using one of those oil extractors is to always make sure the adapter where the tubing switches to smaller diameter is secured firmly. Mine came off when I was pumping the oil out of the extractor into the oil jug and made a mess.

From a self certified DIY mechanic, this video is very funny, I have never taken my new 4 runner to the shop. After 80,000k of oil changes done by myself. Why would I. I love working on my cars. Great video😂. Keep them coming. After I took the car out of the dealer floor, within a 3 months I was already getting calls from them to do the first oil change and check up. I just ignored them completely, actually, I told them I can do that all myself to have a blessed day. They never call me again, just sent me silly emails there after. I have a membership to a car wash, everytime I pull up to the Toyota dealership to buy oil, they keep on commenting,” wow this car looks new.” I grinch every time I see the long line ups of cars waiting to get oil changes and services at the dealership.

So I'm a volkswagen dealership technician and something that surprised me when I first joined the brand was that VW actually specifically write on service sheets "do not extract oil" so technically VW say that you shouldn't do this but like you say in the video its a known process in the VW and audi community, personally I think no matter how you drain the oil the most important thing is the oils getting replaced either way

@@hotshotfx3502 for sure not on the Mk 7 Golfs unless you're really rushing. You have to remove the belly pan to access the drain plug.

I live in a city I do all my oil changes, and car work on a street with people driving past me, I just cant bring myself to climb under the car unless I really need to.

[@jeandunow7794]

I perform an additional step when using an oil extractor (bought mine from Griot's years ago); after removing the pipette from the dip stick tube, wipe it off and place it in the bottom of the filter housing to suck up the remaining oil there. You'll have to pump the handle once or twice while moving the tube around but it works quite well to remove whatever's left. Then install the new oil filter.

[@GymChess]

But the remaining oil flows down to the pan anyway.

[@jeandunow7794]

@@GymChess don't think you quite understand...after removing the oil filter, if you look down into the bottom of the filter housing, there is oil sitting there that doesn't make it to the pan. It's maybe a few ounces at most, but I like to remove it so it doesn't contaminate the new oil.

I use this once ever 5K then full change every 10K so I can swap out the filter ... yeah yeah I have to jack it up to get access. I love this device man, can't speak enough value it bought when doing brake bleed by myself. I used to suffer from massive hand sore using hand pump, for a few extra bucks this thing just take entire stress out of the equation. I mean 0 stress and I'm loving it. As a matter of fact the pump is so powerful, you're going to need to work fast or your master cylinder will be empty and you'll end up with more air pockets.

On my mk4 Golf TDI, I changed the oil every 10K miles. I sold it with just shy of 400K miles on it. The engine and turbo were still original and ran perfect. 10K mile oil change intervals are probably fine unless you really thrash your car. I do the same thing on my mk7 Golf TDI, and at 90K miles, I've had no issues.

[@DesolationTech]

Nice usually they say cars with turbos to change the oil more frequently most probably due to more friction with the turbo as it's constantly spinning etc but yeah 5/7.5/10 is good as long as it gets changed you'll be golden...got a MK4 GTi myself

[@denton8047]

@@DesolationTech Diesels can be softer on the oil as the particulate is less likely to cause wear and the fuel is less harsh, it's not uncommon to do 10k on many diesels with good results unless run hard. I change it more often on turbo gas vw's because oil dilution can be an issue especially if the pcv isn't working so good or something is chunking out bits of metal (like bpy cam followers).

But after about 25000km/~15,000mi, the oil only gets slightly darker between oil changes now. So it's DEFINITELY beneficial to change your oil more often when the engine is new.

[@JohnDoe_333]

I wonder if the VW 50800 Oil in america is different. Here in germany these cars have 30000km/ 2 year intervals (around 20000miles) by VW and every car enthusiasts says that 12-15tkm/ 8-10000miles/ 1 year oil change is totally acceptable. Also with these direct fuel injected engines a black oil is normal, even a sign that the oil has cleaning additives. when I change the oil in my diesel it's black after the first startup.

[@Nabeelco]

​@@JohnDoe_333 It wasn't simply blow-by because it did go away after about 5 changes. It's possible they are different, you guys got multi-port injection, and we just got direct injection without the port injectors...

I have been curious about these oil extractors myself because after doing my own maintenance for years I gave up all my tools in an international move and now live in an apartment. My last oil change was extremely expensive and I still don't really know why. Having one of those would allow me to do it in my parking spot - but I too had this assumption that it was somewhat critical to drain the pan each time. Much appreciated and thank you again for the work you do, which benefits us all!

[@petersmyth7406]

I know it's just a small thing, but I only use new oil when coating the O-ring or the mounting gasket on a screw on oil filter. The old oil is full of acids and contaminants. I can't prove it damages the gasket, but I remember years ago when I coated a filter gasket with old oil, it was the only time I had an oil leak from the base of the filter. Maybe it was just a coincidence and I hadn't tightened the filter enough, but I've done many oil changes and it only happened that time.

When the OEM’s recommended/approved way to remove the oil at the dealers is sucked out… dealers don’t get given enough time to service via the sump plug, the technician would lose time and thus money doing extra untimed work. You can request the change via the sump plug but expect an extra charge.

I buy 3 jugs and have enough for 2 oil changes on a 2020 Audi SQ5 with the EA839 V6. With filter, it works out to about $50 an oil change, which is less than 1/3 what the dealer would charge. It is really an unbeatable value.

[@elliottm9365]

Question: When sucking the oil out, do you lose the benefit from a conventional drain of having contaminants "flushed out" with the flow of oil rather than staying at the bottom of the pan? I'd like to see a comparison of oil pans from vehicles that have done only conventional drain versus only sucking the oil out.

[@davepetrakos475]

No. You actually get more oil out with extractor BECAUSE the drain hole is up from the "floor" of oil pan. But if you are sucking a different make for the first time, then if would not hurt to verify. Now if you see a drain plug on bottom of pan, be aware that often a nut is tacked inside. So now it's like the drain hole is a castle with an oil moat around it. Extractor could win.However, on my 97 tdi by design the drain plug is the lowest part of the pan, almost like a funnel. Crawling under car sucks, and so does my extractor! If you are worried about 1 oz oil in pan, then watch these guys flip an engine for teardown. There is SO much oil that pours out of the block. Recently I did an engine treatment flush. Drained oil and replaced with cheapest and wrong weight oil. Then I ran engine for ~2 minutes. Sucked it out and replaced with proper oil. What came out was alot darker than 5 minutes earlier. I did it with a new filter and just left it in. Will be interesting to see next change. I usually park a front wheel on a short 2x6 so oil oozes downhill toward dipstick. I recently heard Europeans are worried about oil being dumped on grass. To combat this drain plugs no longer exist. Next door neighbor used to work for BMW. I assume he wasn't pulling my leg about sucking oil in German cars. But knowing how they do things in the Eastern Block, and since they have moved west, so has the oil dumping problem.

When you pour the new oil in, you would do better to hold the bottle horizontally (say with the front big label facing up) so that air can flow back into the bottle without interrupting flow of oil out - otherwise it just glugs and may go all over the place.

Third time I measured the quantity of oil coming out and it was not enough. Drained the oil again with extractor, then opened the drain plug. Almost a litre was left in the sump :(. I think what is happening is due to an obstruction that I needed to push past when placing the extractor tube. The tube contacted the sump floor at an angle, so that it started sucking air with several millimetres still remaining. Once it sucks air, you cant suck any more oil.

Glad I’m not the only one who’s been brain washed by the ways of Captain Planet. “Don’t run water while you brush your teeth kids”. Great video as always!

[@mowler8042]

I bought and returned one of these after finding the tube would not fit into my truck the wife's mini has no dip stick

Extractor works perfectly on my Mk7 GTI--pretty much all the oil. On my 2012 Beetle Turbo with a 2.0T, not so much--still leaves over 1.5 liters of oil.

[@AaronHalpin]

Sounds like you may not be getting to the bottom of the oil pan. I have a 2015 GLI, 2015 Jetta 1.8T Sport, and a 2011 GTI and my oil extractor works perfectly on all of them.

Excellent vid Paul

[@davva360]

Interested in this because I have a Jetta GLI with a plastic oil pan. The oil filter is at the top so changing the filter is easy but I have no easy way to get underneath, AND I have had problems with oil drain plugs leaking. after oil changes. They dont always use OEM parts, even at the dealers, and the third party plugs LEAK sometimes slow, sometimes faster. I would rather the oil plug never came out again! I dont mind paying the dealer $80 to do it, but like I said even they dont always have the correct OEM drain plugs and getting the drops off my driveway is pretty impossible. Looks to me that this works pretty well, I have the EA888 engine in my car which I believe is supposed to be compatible with this method. I am going to give it a try.

Oh man, they got rid of the grey piece on the end of the dipstick that made it easier too see the level.

Thank you so much.

[@oliverle8438]

Great video! How do you recommend cleaning the extractor (if at all?) I got one for my A3 and it's worked very well, but I'm a bit of a neat freak and would like for ther not to be a little puddle of oil at the bottom of the extractor all the time

[@Deutscheautoparts]

You can always clean it out with brake clean if you are crazy enough to spend the time to make it squeaky clean every time.

I just love watching this video! He’s funny as hell. Hell i forgot what I was looking up he’s so funny. Carol must be a jerk! But yes we can do what the “F” we want and burn the hell out of ourselves 🤣 Sometimes you read both books to learn it says contact dealer. “F”!!!!!!!!! You guys are the BEST!

If you cut your old oil container in half you can stick it in your oil fill hole and voila a free oil funnel.....and if you put the lid back on and slide the 2 parts together and it keeps it nice and tidy for your next time

I call shenanigans. You should have more than that on these gravity vacuum pumps and there is a reference to it in their own documentation. I have seen a powered vacuum clean and sum like this.

As an Express Technician for VW, i find these manuals so odd. Just like VW doesn't show what your fuses actually are from my understanding never released to the public. you have to actually go to vw and have them diag it and they can tell. However I do know VW offers cost free 10, 20, and 30ks so no cost to you. in my view its great to get those because they are free, (unless i am mistaken it might be a part of your lease or purchase price.). Also really nothing is recommended by VW until 30k. But still a great video thank you!

[@DevineDigital]

Why did I just watch an entire oil change video? 🤣 speaking of that though, I need to do mine I’m at 59,945!

[@lorddrako1990]

Handy news, all of the EA888 engines are designed to be suctioned and VW recommends that dealerships do the oil changes this way. As a "Volkswagen Certified Technician", I can suction the oil while I rotate the tires and perform other services therefore increasing my efficiency. #SecretSquirrelTricks #FlatRateLife

[@PaganiZondaF650hp]

As a rule of thumb could you say that all VW engines that have the oil filter „on top of the engine“ can have the oil sucked out without difficulties? I have a EA188 BSW 1.9tdi new beetle convertible…

[@lorddrako1990]

@@PaganiZondaF650hp no. Only the ea888 family. The 1.9's pan/dipstick tube are not designed for suctioning

Did they make a oil filler funnel for these cars? I loved my MK6 locking funnel. It’s been a few years since this video aired.
