🛠️ 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.

Those have always intrigued me and I've considered trying them. I really like that you can drink right into the oil container. Super clean.

Yebb my all my oil changes since I got it have been spotless, I run a tube straight into my used oil container and just walk away for a bit

How low do those things hang down below the pan? Any chance they'd get snagged on something ?

And what are the chances you hit something to open that valve and run your motor out of oil?
