Review: Griots Oil Extractor. (archive)

Ok, everyones gotta admit that the Griots catalog is something you can go through over and over again and always find something new you want. Well, finally being a new homeowner with a garage for my //M i could finally get some stuff. My first order included the Oil Extractor, that oil changer doohicky that siphons out from the dipstick tube. i figured rather than get under there every oil change, maybe every other.

Its pretty well built, solid design, no prob...everything goes together pretty easy. I stuck the tube in to start the process and the oil comes up quick enough but let me tell you from there your oil change just became an hour long. it took almost an hour for that thing to drain the oil. not only that i stopped a couple of times in between, you have to fidget with tube to get it right.

to me, it isn't worth it. save your $70 bucks.
