Oil extractor works well when changing oil. That’s what I use when changing oil on all my cars for the last 10-15 yrs. It gets more oil out than via the drain plug and also leaves no mess. I used the pela branded oil extractor.

gets more oil out.... Completely impossible because the bottom of the drain pain is the bottom of the plug hole.

AI actually tried one to see what the fuss was about, then pulled the drain plug to see how much those things leave behind, it's quite a bit.

Oil extractors are the dumbest invention ever because the crud in the bottom of the pan never drains out as it should be. Just like those that use them on Honda transmissions then blame Honda making a bad transmission.

The drain plugs are there for a reason. Not just to drain oil for oil change, but oil pan acts as low place for carbon and other bits to settle then be drained out when plug is pulled.

For transmission oil, I don’t use oil extractor because of the tight spacing. Also drain plug and baffle/filter for transmission oil are magnetize to catch the shaving.

For engine oil, oem drain plug is not magnetize and the purpose of the filter is to catch the crud and fod in the oil. Oil extractor is relying on vacuum to suck the oil out rather than relying on gravity. Oil extractor may not work for you but works for me. Never have engine issue.
