I am thinking about buying a GR86 before I move down to FL. I will be living in an apartment and thinking about using this method. Do you think that this method is effective for this car based on the oil pan positioning? I read that oil extractors are better for certain cars where oil drain pain is not the lowest point of the oil pan. Since you did get excess oil after pulling out the drain plug, I assume that it is at the lowest point.
I say it's a nice alternative for those in situations like yours that will struggle with space. With about .3 of old oil, you should be good assuming you are doing about ~3k mile changes.
Thanks, do you have any difficulty to plug in and out of the extractor tube into the dip stick tube ? I m worry about the bending at the bottom if the dip stick tube

I am thinking about buying a GR86 before I move down to FL. I will be living in an apartment and thinking about using this method. Do you think that this method is effective for this car based on the oil pan positioning? I read that oil extractors are better for certain cars where oil drain pain is not the lowest point of the oil pan. Since you did get excess oil after pulling out the drain plug, I assume that it is at the lowest point.

Nice sharing, that means you have 5.3L engine oil inside the engine. 5L pumped by extrator, 0.3 drained by drain hole ?
Yep! I think it's a small enough margin to use the extractor in this case!
Thanks, do you have any difficulty to plug in and out of the extractor tube into the dip stick tube ? I m worry about the bending at the bottom if the dip stick tube
@@wilsonwong8560 At first I did but you can feel it bottom out which helps with not bending.
Hey my extractor is only getting 1 liter out??? Do you have any advice why this is happening?
You gotta move the tube around a lot and possibly go further in. Happened to me last time. I had the tube about 98% all the way in.
