Speedy's correct, I drain thur the plug also to remove that little extra amount that top extraction leave in the pan. It's a perfectly fine method , an you don't have to roll around on the ground...I just take that time to examine, bushings an exhaust piping, while I'm there.
Thanks Steve Jr. I agree with what you said..it all makes sense. I wish I could remove the plug and drain the oil from below but it appears that my plug is not removeable. It will not budge. That is why I went to the extractor method. Are some plugs permanently sealed?
