I get more oil out of my 617 with the extractor than by gravity. I have proven this by draining until the drips stopped and then inserting the suction tube and pulling several ounces (big deal

) out.
I have also evacuated and then pulled the drain plug to only have nothing come out.
So, I will not be pulling my drain plug again any time soon.
