Nice! I wonder if my dealership would do the oil change the way our forefathers did for the price of a new drain plug hmm
I don't understand that.

I said extractors were the problem then corrected myself by saying “rather, it’s lazy fucks using the extractor that’s the problem”Perhaps using "is not" or "isn't" would have helped in deciphering what it was you were saying. To include, placing a comma after "problem," and then continuing to finish it as a complete sentence.
At times, syntax can be lost if sentences aren't structured well.
I would agree very much that 600ml of oil left in the pan is very half-fast.
Oh sorry. I’ll rephraseI don't understand that.
Oh sorry. I’ll rephrase
I wonder if the dealer would consider draining the oil via lifting the car and removing the drain plug if I purchase a new plug. Instead of using the extractor.
My bad
Meh. I’ll just do it myself.If they won't I would go to a different dealer.
I see not a bit of dyslexia in your writing. There is some other condition or state present other than dyslexia M8.I said extractors were the problem then corrected myself by saying “rather, it’s lazy fucks using the extractor that’s the problem”
Sorry for not meeting your syntax standard. English isn’t my first language. Reading and typing is difficult because of my dyslexia. But I try. Frankly, it seems like you’re excusing away the fact that you didn’t read it right.
Either way, I stand by what I say because I’m in a position to absolutely say
Ahem
Fuck extractors. Fuck the guy that made them. Fuck his mom. Fuck who ever thinks it will pull more oil that a regular drain plug pull. Fuck that persons shoes.
I was forced to use them for a long while. And when ur dealing with extended 10k mile intervals and compound this with having to perform service in such a way that can leave behind as much as 600ml of old oil. It’s just a terrible idea
Now, I don’t pay any of your car notes. I don’t pay for your gas. And y’all ain’t on my insurance either. You guys do whatever u want. It is your right after all.
Peace be with u bro.
Use of extractors is far less than people think. I sell tools to auto repair shops. They all put cars on lifts and drain through the oil pan plug. It's far easier and more convenient than an extractor.It depends who does it and how much of a fuck they give.
Up to 50-600ml can be left behind, and that’s if you give a fuck. Ever hear about people who measure after an oil change at the dealer and they’re over by half a qt? That’s because dude who did the oil change left half a qt of old oil in the pan. And decided to just add 6 and call it a day.
Imagine following vw’s maintenance plan. Changing your oil every 10k miles. Yet carrying a significant overage due to someone not sucking more of it out.
No thanks. Fuck extractors. I remember when they were first rolled into my dealership. Dude who was showing us how to use it sucked as much as possible. Lifted the car. Removed the plug. We measured out about 150-200ml.
Nope. Extractor oil changes should be cheaper considering the job isn’t being done right.

Everything is somebody else's fault these days. Rather than saying "whoops, maybe I phrased that wrong" it so much easier to blame ESL/dyslexia/noisy neighbors/phase of the moon/anything but "I screwed up"I see not a bit of dyslexia in your writing. There is some other condition or state present other than dyslexia M8.
You changed from "extractors were the problem", corrected to "it's lazy users", then back to ALL extractors and users of them?
Get some exercise M8, release that anger...
One of the local one here does. They got in trouble for charging for drainplugs anyway.I've never seen any shop use an extractor. I'm sure that some do but they're few and far between.
Thanks. I’ve had to take a lot of weekend remedial classes to be able to write and read coherently. Autospeller on the phone helps too. Didn’t realize so many gti owners were also dyslexia aficionados.I see not a bit of dyslexia in your writing. There is some other condition or state present other than dyslexia M8.

Oh wow that’s terribleOne of the local one here does. They got in trouble for charging for drainplugs anyway.
Folks who have to deal with those things have a hair trigger for the shit. I have dyslexia. I hate when my writing or reading comprehension is criticized. It absolutely sucks.Everything is somebody else's fault these days.

It’s standard in every vw, Audi and collection dealership I ever worked in. In 3 different states too.Use of extractors is far less than people think. I sell tools to auto repair shops.
