As far as cost, the Gen2 takes 5+ quarts and I can get that for $35. An OEM filter costs $10. $45 for me all in for my oil change. I don't know any reputable shop near me that would do the same for less than $90.
Don't know much about extractors. As far as the oil lines being under pressure, that is my point. It's designed to be a positive pressure, not negative pressure or vacuum, situation. Very, very different. Systems that are designed to contain 100s of lbs of pressure often cannot take 10 lbs of vacuum.
And no, nobody is forcing you to do your own oil changes. As I said, if it takes you an hour, you probably shouldn't be doing them anyhow.

I like that you continue to attack me because you don't seem to understand modern vehicles.
An hour isn't a long time. The car needs to be up to temp, which in normal driving takes 15-20 minutes. Then pull it in the garage, get it on jack stands, pull the drain plug, give it ample time to drain. Then refill let it idle, ensure no leaks, then check the level again.
JFC dude, why do you try to fight anything that's ever said on this forum?
