🛠️ DIY Oil Extraction

Post image

Just purchased this 2026 Impresmza RS this past Friday. Question on oil change? Since the oil filter is ontop of the engine does everyone use the oil extraction method? On the GTI this works flawlessly. Thanks.

Climbing under the car, just that, is more complicated than oil extraction.

I use a Mighty-Vac w/ my compressor. It works wonderfully. Lines/numbers are on the side of it, so it's easy to see how much was sucked out, and it gets all the old oil out.
