Extractor all the way. As for The amount left behind, it is inconsequential if you are maintaining a short oil change interval. I've seen a couple YouTube videos showing maybe 3 or 4 oz left behind.
Did this every oil change on my sq5. Made it 180k miles before trading it in. Works very well. That was the easiest oil change I’ve ever done. Of the 15 minutes the job takes, about 4 of those minutes is actually doing something
Definitely prefer the extractor here! So easy/clean and gets all of the oil. At least in a Q8 and b9 A4/5 it got everything
I’ve done both and extractor takes out like 97% of oil. I still had about a half cup when I pulled the plug.
I’ve been buying Conti DWS06, and they’re treadwear rated in the 600s, IIRC. Good all weather traction and they last a while. My Audi A4 Quattro used to eat through tires in short order. At least with these I got 30k-40k miles.
It is Valeo VF892 and part number 577892. So far works great and the squeak is gone but I will update this in a month.
It went out at 40,000 miles and was replaced without issue by the dealer which provided an A6 as a loaner for the week it took to replace the alternator. I still love the car and would not move to Mercedes
They are fine, feel rather soft.
I had them on an Audi A4 one winter, it snowed a decent amount that year but there were plenty of non-precipitation days and they were OK (a little noisy) on highway and city.
I have the same exact issue on my 2021 Q8 coolant leaking in vaccum system they want over $8k for repairs just hit 51k miles
2015 Audi S3 with 93k miles. One year of ownership (about 11k miles in one year) cost me about $5.4k in repairs out of pocket; water pump replacement, coolant issues, leaking oil.
