oil changes are pretty easy. Do it the right way.

![]() And ..... wouldn't that have to be a pain to have to flush the sucker out after each use .. ?? And .... if the manufacture wanted oil to be sucked out of the sump ...... they would have put in a tube that reached all the way to the bottom. And ....what about the "sludgie" stuff in the very bottom of the sump, wouldn't that just accumulate in time .. ?? And ...... when the magnetic drain plug gets all "filled up" with metal particles, it wouldn't be able to hold any more and stuff would just be circulated in the oiling system .... ?? And ...... how would you know you got all the old oil out ... ?? And ...... gravity is free ...... sucker machines cost money. ![]() (popcorn - reminds me, I took mrs humfrz to the picture show last night ..... yep, bought that sweet pea of mine a medium popcorn (with butter) ....... we saw "Wonder Woman" ....... oh, I want her ..... ![]() humfrz |

https://www.edmunds.com/how-to/the-t...il-change.html
From the article: "Can You Get All the Oil Out? While researching this story, we found that some people have posted Internet messages saying they are doubtful of this method. Wouldn't there be some oil left in the lowest part of the oil pan? And wouldn't this oil contain harmful sludge? Sludge is actually an extremely harmful gelling that occurs when water is combined with oil. This has little to do with a successful oil change. Skeptics were probably intending to say they wanted all particulate matter removed along with the old oil. If the car has been warmed up before the oil change, as recommended, any particulate matter would flow out with the oil." Ok, to be fair this is not an apples to apples comparison. I have no idea how the FRS oil pan is shaped, and if there is still oil left in the pan after a conventional oil change. I would assume that if the front of the car is elevated, i.e. ramps or a jack, all the oil should come out; but what about when it's level, i.e., on a lift.

I have never heard of a dealership using a vacuum to suck oil out.. If the vehicle was supposed to be vacuumed out, why do they come with drainplugs from factory?
I've only heard of Walmart using vacuums. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk |

Fumoto valve. Done.
No sucking required, unless you're gulping down a juice box or something. |

Yum, love me some or somethings.
But yeah, love my Fumoto drain valve even more. But I do see the benefit of sucking the oil out if you don't have a jack/jack stands.
