sorted byNow no mess as I use one of these. I use an old charged 12v battery I keep in the garage (avoid flattening your car battery). Run engine to warm oil so flows quicker. I then drain most (not all) of the oil directly into an old oil can (10 mins or so) avoiding the mess, no spills. (The small tube fits easily through the dipstick opening, thick tube is the waste outlet).
I then open the sump and drain the last half litre through the sump, sometimes add a little fresh oil to flush out any possible dregs. I find it easier and cleaner with just half a litre or so to drain under car.
It's no fun juggling 4 litres of old oil in a drain pan, spilling on drive or in garage. I never spill a drop now, so that is why I like this little pump - personal preference. Hope someone finds this info helpful.
[Storage tip to save cleaning and avoid oil stain drips - when storing I find if you feed the small tube into the large tube and store that bit upright, no mess, saves cleaning/flushing out the old oil - ready for next use.]
Back in the days when I had a car with decent ground clearance & no undertray, I used to drive home from work, throw a piece of carpet and a drain tray under the car, then undo the sump plug whilst wearing a white shirt from work. I'd pop out about an hour later to finish the job off.
These days, with a 5.5 litre oil capacity, I just put my oil drain tray inside a larger B&Q plant tray and that contains drips.
I too prefer to change via oil plug. If I used an extractor it would be on my mind that there was old oil and metal filings left in, even though it's probably scientifically proven otherwise.
My old MVS (motor vehicle studies) teacher back in the 80's always used to say "drain the oil into a pan, then leave it be, and go and have a cup of tea". It still has some sort of dsissappearing old world charm to it doing it this way for me.
He's no longer with us, a car fell on him during an oil change, but that won't stop me doing it this way.
I've seen zero engines destroyed by having oil pumped out.
Seen plenty of other issues though, usually in diesel BMWs
I expect if it could extract the oil with the larger hose this would have sped up the process.
Sucked the oil out in around 10min........and I guess it will be the same viscosity oil as your 1.5dci a 5w30.
I was very impressed for £15.
These are ok for interim oil changes, but a proper oil and filter change on schedule needs to be done.
I also connect a charger to it to boost the speed.
It also works at 24v and is much quicker, but I don't how long it would last at that voltage?
Even if it was, you would have already been driving around for X amount of months or years with them in there engine.
Draining from the sump also does not guarantee any metal shavings will escape, if they were there.
Put it this way, in my life i've changed oil around 50+ times myself. I drain from the sump, into an oil catch and then from there i tip it into a tub which has a filter on the top. I've never recorded any single metal shaving in the filter in my life. From this tub, I take it to the local tip that also has a filter on, and tip into there, again, no shavings.
And guess what? some modern cars have no sump nowadays!!!
So I shall be investing in a vacuum pump, probably a manual one for next time. I shall not be going under a car again unless the oil filter is there.
