Hi,

Before taking the plunge on an extractor, buy 3-4' of Nylon Surgical Tubing and see if you can get it into the Sump from the Filler Tube. Cutting the end at an angle might help get it past any bend.

Personally, since the Cartridge Filter is not accesible from the Top of the Engine, I don't think it's that big a deal to simply drain the Oil from the Sump for an Oil change, but for accidental overfill, it would be more convenient. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
