Oil Extraction.

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

Bob you are right but the pain of getting to the drains everytime is daunting all the time. Filler plug out, extractor in, a few pumps and warm oil in sump flows. Replace with same amount extracted. Filters next time around. Now the old oil debate... which BRP, Motol, Shell Rotella or Mobil 1. All synthetic of coause!
That should push enough buttons. lol

You are correct, however the MAGNETIC PLUG isn't getting cleaned of any / all the metal debris it collects. and some of the pics I've seen here show some engines seem to have quite a bit of debris ….. good luck ….. Merry Christmas ….. Mike :thumbup:

2dogs is in the bulls-eye about asking for help on SL; there are some very knowledgeable folks who actively participate on the forums. More important IMO, is to read the operator's guide forward, backward, up and down until you have pictures in your mind of as many pages as you can cram into your coconut. Lastly, do not hesitate to contact BRP Care at [email protected] if something you hear from a dealership, service manager and/or technician that you cannot resolve through reference to manuals and questioning people on site. When you contact BRP Care simply be polite, explain the situation in detailed, unemotional terms and ask for help. They will respond, and you may have to push back a bit if you don't get correct information but if you keep things civil and polite you will probably get the assistance you need. I have done so on more than one occasion and it works. End of rant.

JayBros.....I couldn't agree with you more. The service writer misled me. BRP contradicted the service writers statements and the Service Manager agreed with BRP and me. The Service Manager stepped up and did the right thing. I will continue to patronize this local dealership because they have earned my business..... Jim

I wouldn't suck it out for all reasons above. When I was working on boats for a living if at all possible we would put a fitting and hose on the pan so we could extract all the oil. I worked in a marina that for oil changes they would pull the sending unit and install a hose then idle the engine until the pressure dropped or the lifters rattled. I didn't stay there long.

I would never suck the oil out. I'm too old and my lungs just could not handle it.

Love the perspective. The mental visual is pretty funny as well!
