does anyone use an oil extractor before removing drain plug? I had to buy an oil extractor for my PWC's and so i wondered if it would help me when changing oil in my vehicle. so i used it to suck out most of the oil then when i took out drain plug it didn't shoot oil out everywhere and drained cleanly.
just wondered if anyone had thoughts on this vs the old fashioned just drain it all way. theoretically if anything is in the oil it would get sucked out being suspended in oil and if anything was residual in bottom of pan hopefully it would make it way to the drain plug and come out with what little did drain. it sure was a lot cleaner since it didn't shoot out a whole 5 quarts.
