I've tryed multiple devices to extract oil from the dipstick and have gotten no oil, I feel like the plastic tube that is send down the dip doesn't reach the oil pan. I have always tryed with oil at running temp.
Shoreline 12v oil extractor pump
Atwood manual pump tank

Has anyone tryed these and failed

I don't use the plastic tube, just put the hose over the top of the dipstick and use a hose clamp. I'll also hold the hose up before I start and make sure there is some only on the impeller in the pump

Edit: could just install one of these
