After doing this for years all I had to do is refresh the o ring on the bottom end of the tube as a precaution. With the volume markings on the side of the extractor I’m satisfied that I’m get the same volume as if I had used the drain plug. All so I should mention that the tubes that came with the extractor are made from a very stiff material and can be easily push deep into the oil pan.
I'll give it a try next oil change and see how it does. I am a distributor for a couple different brands of these though I have never really been that impressed with them.
