Default He said he got 6 quarts out, not liters. Sorry. Easily measured by how many he put back in.

It's not like i'm making this up. I measured the differences and I spent 30 minutes trying to get out every last drop. 1/2qt less than doing it from underneath. I'm the one who put out $60 bucks for this thing, so of course i'd want it to work as well. Just being honest about it. I dont think it's a piece of junk, just didnt drain quite as much. A good instrument for lazy changes. cheers! Mike<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/893871.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/893871.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default I got almost six "lines" out, so six liters. My bad!

I even added a little remaining fresh oil from my last change as sort of a flush and as soon as I added it the Pela sucked it right up (this took the Pela to over 6 lines).

Default I never planned to keep my car very long, it's actually for sale

I've used M1 0W-40 in every change, and I think I've only done two oil changes so far. The car only has 16,700 miles and I've done a 5k &amp; 10k.

Good deal. So would you say you got more than 6 qts out or less?

Default I sell all my cars like that (I'm realizing how much money I waste on cars).

Anyone who gets one of my cars will be lucky.

Slightly less. There had to be some oil left in the filter.

Good info. I've just never taken the time to find it and try it out.
