I would add that the collar on the main extraction port/hose connection is for removing the hose. It should be twisted clockwise for vacuum. Then press in the extraction hose. To release the hose, twist the collar counterclockwise. Also make sure the plug in the back is in place or you will not get suction.
Always change the filter first. There's a drain valve that opens up when you remove a cartage oil filter. You now have 1/2 qt of dirty oil in your sump.
I just changed my today using this tool and I found that I could put the dipstick tube too far down and it must have twisted back up. I then removed it and listened for it to touch the pan and it worked just fine.
Do NOT put the main suction tube on the way shown on this video. There is a yellow tag staring you in the face telling you not to put it on that way. Unscrew the cap first leave it just barley connected. Then place the main suction tube into the hole. Then tighten the cap down. It is a compression fitting.
Excellent instructional video for this product. OEM sends four pages of safety BS, but NOTHING regarding assembly of product.
Great video

This is the only extractor video I've found on the chevy cruze. Can it be used on the 2011 cruze?
Yes, it can be used on the 2011 Cruze and a lot of other vehicles.
Next time first remove the oil filler cap, oil filter and start the oil extraction process 👍

Why keep that extra tube in the container when you're filling it with used oil? It's just going to get dirty and it has no purpose right?
The extra tube is in an enclosed channel and does not get dirty. You can also store your dip stick tube in there with it.
I tried it on 3 different cars but failed to extract the oil.
Likely had was not creating suction. It is imperative to make sure there is a good seal, and that it is assembled correctly.

If you do that you can’t push it in all the way … it is there to do remove the hose when you are done it basically pushes the hose connector out…
