I just ordered a Hand Pump Oil/Liquid Extractor (item 10122) from Griot's Garage. When changing the oil, the until will hold 6+ quarts of oil and reportedly will remove more than a normal oil change with the drain plug.
I ordered it because I have an 2001 Audi A4 V6 that has the plastic underbelly that is a pain to remove/put back on, so I am going to try this product. Plus, with the car on the ramps, the drain plug is in the front of the pan, so gravity isn't working 100%.
From what I have read, apparently Mercedes has endorsed this type of oil change by extracting the fluid from the dipstick.
Has anyone used such a product? Were you happy with the product?
Thanks.
