Can I Use an Oil Extractor on the Audi TT?
I would like to change the oil on my 2001 Audi TT. I live 120 miles from the closest dealer so taking the car there is not an option. I don't have low profile ramps either.
Will an oil extractor like the Pela extractor work? I've had good luck with this on other cars, no need to get under the car and no mess. The main restrictions on the Pela extractor is the fit of the extractor tube into the dip stick tube. If not the Pela extractor does anyone have experience with other extractors?
What type of oil filters are most people using?

I don't know much about an "oil extractor", but would hesitate to use anything that works by fitting into an Audi plastic dip stick tube. They break easily without any effort as is.
Draining your oil is no big deal. Just be sure to replace the drain plug washer if re-using your stock plug.

I use Meyle filters.
I too agree that you should not use an oil extractor...just drain it. Do not put the oil drain pan under the plug...the oil shoots out horizontally due to the pressure.
I use Rhino ramps and the car does not rub...love em.

I would use the extractor. It saves time, and mess. I would measure how much is coming out of there tho. Just so you know your getting all of it. I would be careful with the dipstick tube, but being careful you should be fine. I use the K&N screw on fiters. They have the nut on the bottom of the case. makes them easier to get off.
