I have a recommendation: DO NOT USE AN EXTRACTOR, change the oil the way it was designed to be changed.
Over the years, we have had numerous Porsche's flat bedded to the shop because someone got the tube down into the sump, and then could not get it out. There are just too many edged surfaces that can catch and trap an extraction tube, making it impossible to pull out from the top. When that happens, the sump cover has to come off and the tube pulled out from the bottom. Bad idea.
