The first, which is pro-extractor, is that with traditional draining, some oil will be left in the pan thanks to the valleys in the baffles that will trap sediment and leftover oil while the extractor will pull everything from the bottom up, leaving no oil or debris remaining. I then pulled the Jetta up to a lift, racked it, and popped the hood.īefore I began, I had to restate the test: this was for science, after all. I grabbed the appropriate amount of LIQUI MOLY Molygen oil, a new magnetic drain plug, and a MANN filter for the car to complete the oil service, and brought it all with me to our R&D shop. Chris, a coworker, provided his MK6 Jetta 1.8TSI for the procedure. I picked a random car that I had never touched before to ensure all elements were going to be a surprise. Recently, we recorded another video to tackle that very subject since the question has been asked so many times as to whether the fluid extractor actually removes all the oil. We showed in our video that it is the easiest way to perform your oil service, provided you have a top-mounted filter and a traditional dipstick, but had not actually proven the theory that it is also the most effective way to change your oil. Many DIYers and mechanics alike weighed in and made their arguments for or against the method of changing oil with a vacuum device like the fluid extractor. When we introduced the Schwaben Fluid Extractor, it was met with some understandable skepticism.
