I just attempted the dipstick using the Mityvac 07201 extractor. I had the engine nice and warm. I started with the rear higher than the front and when I inserted the extraction tube it went to the bottom of the dipstick and stopped. I switched to the smaller tube and the same thing happened but I was able to force it in until it hit with a thud (about 4"). The pump worked real well but I was only able to get 1 liter out. When I had the tube all the way in it would suck air, I had to pull it up a little to get any oil. After 1L it would only suck air, even when I leveled out the car.
1-what angle does the dipstick enter the pan?
2-is the front or rear higher better or is level better?
3-what can I do to get more of the oil out?
I got 2 filters from my VW dealer and a case of 505.01, when I took the filter off it was short and fat and the ones they sold me were long and skinny. I assume they sold me filters for the older engine.?
