A snag with Oil change w/ Extractor

[kennjen]

Anyone use an extractor to do a oil change on the 2.0T engine ??

I just tried using my extractor and the tube is snagging on something approximately a inch before it reaches oil. (it goes into the pipe where the oil check stick goes, if you are not familiar.)

I tried turning the pipe while I insert, but no luck yet. Also did a search on the fourm but no luck on any additional info.

Would love to know if anyone has any info !

Why are you using an extractor to change oil?

Why are you using an extractor to change oil?

Because my plan is to change only the oil with extractor on shorter intervals than the full oil/filter change.

It takes me 3 min to set the extractor up and then 1 min to dump the oil for the total cost of 20$ using Penzoil Plat. It's good insurance for a turbo'ed engine.

This is how I do my quick oil changes.

That or the Fumoto is my plan B. But, with an extractor I don't have to get under the car at all, so.....

@Arterius2 what quick-drain device is that? That cap looks like it would protect it pretty well off-road compared to some of the other drain plugs on the market.
