Follow up to a question I asked before. Getting ready to do my oil change after break in and sending it to Blackstone Laboratories for an analysis. I was planning to use my oil extractor to do my oil change. Will I be okay if I extract everything then just pour some of the oil in the extractor in the oil sample container? Or should I not use the extractor for this and go through the oil pan instead?
Either way is fine, just let the lab know which way you did it.

Doesn't make any difference whatsoever. But if you do remove the drain plug for the sample you might as well drain it all that way.

just an fyi, my tech said using an extractor is fine, but every few times you should drain from plugs just to get all the extra stuff at the bottom that is missed. I guess ill do that next oil change lol
Is there an official Track Times thread? I think it would be cool to have a master list that just keeps getting updated with something (grouped by track) like car, times, mods, and class.
That way you have an idea that if you're going to Putnam with similar mods as a novice, you'll know what kind of times you can expect.

I doubt there's any dealers using an extractor. They aren't going to miss the opportunity to charge you way too much for the drain pan plug.
Walmart uses them if you'd like to get your oil changed there.
What makes you think they wouldn't still charge you for a plug when using an extractor?

Why the hell would they charge you for a drain pan plug if they extracted the oil from the top and didn't remove the drain pan plug? That's ridiculous. And if they did try and charge for something they didn't do I would point it out to the general manager of the dealership. It they were going to remove the drain pan plug they wouldn't bother with the extractor.
You must trust your dealership a lot more than I trust the ones I've dealt with...

I don't go to the dealership for much of anything. Never for oil changes.
