Took about 20 minutes to remove the 75F oil. Extractor holds the full volume. Cleanest and easiest oil change I have ever done.
Here is the link for the oil extractor. Coupon for July reduces cost to $79.
2.3 gal. Manual Fluid Extractor
Bought one about 5 years ago. Holds almost 2 full oil changes. I've been changing it this way ever since. 8.5 quarts out, 8.5 quarts in. I made a mark on the extractor to confirm the 8.5 level so I know how much has been pulled out. Love these things.
