Take off the valve cover so we can tell what kind of tubing is there, and how much is stuck under the cover or in the oil pan.

Could never understand why one would want to suck dirt & debris back up through the top of the motor especially after 3k miles. I know we have a filter I even have a filter magnet but I wouldn't do it. I can reach my drain plug & filter from under the hood never have to get under the car. I just need to raise the car enough to put a catch can under.

well, you're not really pulling it through the top of the motor, you're sucking it out with a big straw from the bottom.

i've used it before, it makes life easy actually. did you use the right size tube? i got 3 different sizes when i ordered mine from Griott's.
