I was having issues trying to change the oil in a car I bought, as the original oil plug was replaced with what I can only describe as a stove knob looking bolt (the type of knob that's flat not like a gas knob ) never seen one like it before.
I couldn't get it off a shop wouldn't take it off , so I bought. A hose and something to syphon the oil out it wasn't working, so I tried sucking on the tube to get the oil flowing out which only worked long as I kept sucking .
Then someone mentioned taking the oil filter off and starting it up .
I looked it up and found this place with someone asking the same question.
It's what I did to change the oil . That made things easy .
It is of course under the oil pan so it drained everything out.
Thankfully because that oil hadn't been changed since 2021 .
