An oil change that is!
I had recently purchased a Pela 6000 to do oil changes on my TDI Golf that I had. I sold that car so then I just had the Pela sitting around but figured Id try to do it on the Terrain.
Let me just say this, I'll never climb under the car again. ;D
It was pretty simple once I figured out how to operate the Pela. You stick the Pela tube down the dipstick tube and then put it under vacuum. After getting the tube situated right, the oil started to flow. After about 5 minutes, I had extracted right at 5 qts.
Sorry I didnt take any pictures but it was just me out there and I just wanted to get it done. Like I said though, its pretty simple once you figure out how to get the Pela working.
Any questions?
As far as the oil, it was pretty fuel diluted. The OLM had it at 20% but I think Im going to be changing it at 25% in the future if we dont go on a long road trip.
