And I don't have to spend an hour in the garage, take the oil to get recycled, etc. Modern BMWs don't have dipsticks. They pull the oil out through where the filter goes. Which is under pressure when the engine is running. The same place is used for oil extractors on Subaru's. I'm sure you can find a reputable shop where you live.

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. |

Besides, you won't get good enough seal on the tube that you slide in to actually pull a vacuum, it's not a press fit tube. That's like expecting a soda cup to collapse because you're sucking on the straw. |

I'm using an oil extractor.
A friend with a first gen has been using an oil extractor for his car since he bought it new in 2014. There hasn't been any issues |

Running the short Fumoto on our 22 mule without issue.
It's the first mod on every shop car when the break-in oil comes out. |

I read it as, "you only take an hour during an oil change service?" I usually spend more time then that since it is an opportunity to inspect the whole underside of the car while I have it on jackstands.

As I also said, no experience with extractors and don't intend to ever have any when setting out a couple of ramps takes almost no time. Do you want another reason, there is an absolute 0% chance I spill used engine oil all over my engine bay if I drain it from the bottom. Not sure how using an extractor (which a few people do) vs. draining from the bottom (which the vast majority of people do) is such an issue. I mean, you don't use one - why not? |

By the way, just watched a couple oil extractor videos and I can't think of any good reason to use one, LOL. In most of the videos they left a decent amount of oil in the pan. And believe me, there is a significantly greater than 0% chance you end up dripping (if not spraying) used oil inside your engine bay. Why in the world would anybody do this in favor of couple of ramps??? And speaking of that, if you put your car on jackstands to do an oil change, you and I are already on completely different pages as to what is involved in an oil change. |

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?

You're sounding like a Karen right now. "I have no knowledge of X, but I'm going to tell you why it doesn't work."
You should take a break from the internet for a while.

I'm still trying to figure out why you are trying to convince me to use an extractor when you don't even do your own oil changes. Makes no freakin' sense... As for your procedure for doing an oil change (which you don't do). Drive up to the garage after moderate driving - line the car up straight, open the garage door, grab the ramps, drive up on the ramps, put oil pan under car, release Fumoto valve, unscrew filter, close valve, remove pan, put on new filter, fill oil - 10 minutes tops. |

I can't get my car on ramps. If I am going to have it in the air on jackstands I might as well take the opportunity to do a nut and bolt check and inspect things. I am not going to travel 3 hours and have a day cut short because of an issue that could have been easily caught crawling around under the car with a flashlight. I consider an oil change as part of a service, not one job.
