Recently, I read a post regarding oil evacuator/extractors. I thought I'd share my experience using this method on my 2015 Mustang Ecoboost.
I plan on performing a proper oil and oil filter change per the maintenance schedule. I recommend performing this"OIL ONLY" change IN ADDITION to the recommended Oil and Oil Filter changes. My oil change indicator currently shows 64%.
I've had my Mityvac 7201 for over 10 years. It was perfect for my E39, which has an oil filter accessible from the top.
After warming up my car, remove the dipstick and insert the appropriate size hose. Pump the Mityvac roughly 10x, and allow the Mityvac to extract the oil.
I adjusted the hose 3 times (rotated 90 degrees each time) to extract 5 quarts of oil. The Ford manual specifies the capacity of this motor to be 5.7 quarts. That's roughly 87.7 percent of the oil capacity. That's works for me for an intermediate oil change.
I then filled the engine to the appropriate level with SAE 5w30 motor oil which met FORDs specifications. (I'm not going to specify the brand/model used... That's a entire discussion in itself...).
Check the oil level and add/remove as necessary. Not too bad for <30 minutes of work. Please dispose the used oil at a certified collection center.
