When I bought the Black SRT6 coupe from a forum member he included a new oil extractor. I will find out how much oil it removes. I'll use it then put car on hoist and drain remaining oil and measure it. I will give results. Gary

 

That should prove interesting.

 

Yes, especially when my extractor pumped 8.8 liters of oil out of the dipstick easily. I can't imagine there being much more in there.

 

I had the same idea, when I did extracted the oil last week. but did not drain it.
Will do the same experience in a few months.

let us know

thanks,

 

I agree with Tom. Mine pulls out 8.5 quarts, so what is there to prove?

 

Same with me. Mine pulled out the 8.5 quarts. I added a full 8.5 back in and low and behold, the dash board indicator game the thumbs up "OK" and the dip stick registered same level as what I checked before I used the extractor. Given that, I think I'll just use the extractor. When you finish your experiment, let us know your findings. Just make sure you baseline everything before you run your test otherwise your results may be skewed..............

 

I bought an 05 Red Blaze roadster last December with 15,000 miles on the clock for $15,000. I thought it was a great then and still do. I now have 22,000 miles on her. You guys talk about using an oil extractor to drain the oil. Any idea of which kind is the best? I used to use an oil extractor on my inboard boat but wasn't impressed with the job, of course that was back in the late '90's. Any suggestions on one of the better extractors sure would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hey, TomStraRT, thanks for the info.

I bought an HT MOTO Smart Tool Oil Extractor. It has a flexible metal tube (which is good because it won't get soft and contract like some of the other plastic tubes which restricts flow) and holds almost 4 gallons of oil, which is important because our cars use 8.5 quarts --- so you don't have to stop and empty like some of the other lower volume extractors. It worked well for me (only used once so far). It requires more pumping than one might expect and takes a little longer to suck it all out than expected but who cares, you can pump it, walk away and let it do its thing, then come back 10 minutes later and pump it and let it finish.
