Here it is again. Like last time, not the lowest price but close within a few dollars. Best to perform traditional oil drain after using this 2-3 times as it probably gets 95% of the stuff out unless one is very good angling the tube.

For newer EU cars that now have the oil filter accessible from the top of the engine, a fluid extractor works wonders.
For Japanese and other cars that still have the oil filter underneath, by the drain plug, you have to get under the car regardless...so unless your oil filter is on the top of the engine, I don't think you will get "full mileage" out of this tool (which otherwise is HIGHLY recommended).
I use a fluid extractor for my VW and I have a Fumoto Valve for my CX-5. Never stripped a plug personally, but between replacing gaskets or having 5qt of oil shooting out of a hole to deal with, both the above easily pay for themselves.
The Fumoto with an extension hose trains most of the oil directly to an empty jug for recycling and you are left with w/e is in the Oil filter to juggle over a pan. Germans with a fluid extractor you can almost do an oil change w/o needing to put on gloves or worry about even little drops of oil.
The upside of this is that I've changed my oil in dress clothes in a few minutes.

I've been changing my own oil on all my cars, the oldest being a 95 Jeep Wrangler which has had it's oil changed at least twice or more times a year for 26 years and I'm still on the original drain plug. I guess depending on the location and what kind of wrench you are using will determine how long your drain plug lasts. I'm thinking instead of buying this extractor for $64 if you invest that money in a good socket set, is a Slicker deal.
For some German cars such as the Porsche w/ the IMS issue or the BMW w/ rod bearings issues, I couldn't imagine taking that risk...just to save 10 mins and some messy steps. To each their own though...
A selling point of this tool is not having to get under the vehicle while servicing it. Why wouldn't you want to get under the vehicle, at least to conduct a visual inspection? I have found so many vehicle issues BECAUSE I had to get under the vehicle to change out the fluids.

Using this tool to extract/insert fluids is problematic, as you'd have to completely clean out all the tubes/tank before using this to insert clean fluid. Would be counterproductive to introduce new debris when inserting clean fluid.
Great write up, and I agree with the technique.
There are plenty of complaints, especially in German cars, of the drain plug stripping the oil plan and the replacement cost is over a grand in parts and labor.
For this reason, BMW and Audi dealerships are no longer draining oil as a standard practice, they're extracting it.
Ps: in my original post I should've mentioned strip the oil pan. I should've proofread it,in retrospect, before posting.
