Default Motive Power Extractor

Does anyone use one of these one their z06? I bought one and it says its not compatible. Just wondering why!

I wouldnt use this for every oil change, but for in-betweens. I thought it might save a little work because I change the oil so often (every month).

Why in the world would you be so wasteful with oil changes and what is a motive power extractor.

Sure!

BTW, I track the car and this is why I change it often. Still want the oil?

I track my car and only change the oil once a year.

You're not serious.

You're killing your engine. Granted, after each event some may say its excessive, but certainly once a year is very bad for your engine. I'd hate to be the guy that owns your car next!

PowerExtractor. The Motive Products Power Extractor™ allows easy evacuation of engine oil, transmission fluid, other vehicle fluids. Also works as a vacuum bleeder. Pumping the integrated hand pump creates a vacuum in the tank and fluid is pulled into the unit through the attached tubing. Comes with dipstick tube for oil changing and stretchable tubing for vacuum brake bleeding. . 10 quart capacity.
Qty: Price: $59.95

Same company that sells the Power Bleeder for brakes and hydraulic clutch systems.

Cheers. Curt
