    Is there a valve to open under the engine for oil to come out of that line?? I tried but nothing was coming out of the line. I looked everywhere for a valve to open but no luck. I have a 2010 LSV
    Thx

    It’s best to warm the engine oil and then use a suction extractor.

    Just did my 1st oil change using quick drain hose.

    Could not get pan to drain until cranking the trailer jack up as high as possible.

    Took a couple of hours to drain all 8 quarts but otherwise a piece of cake.

    Here is my set up.... a 1/4” quick release male air hose adapter screws perfectly onto that drain hose and my oil extractor hose fits perfectly over that adapter... pretty slick set up.



    Hey Tyler(?)
    I want to thank you for your suggestion. I winterized my Craz yesterday and using your idea I sucked out 8 qts of oil, very quickly. Previously using the dipstick I was only able to get 6 qts out. It bums me out that for 7 yrs I have only been putting on 6 qts of fresh oil, mixed with the remaining 2 qts of dirty oil! I couldn’t find you post last night and made my own post. Thanks again!
