Thank you and can you recommend a good manual one please

Personally, I've used a Sealey extractor. Slightly expensive, but works a charm.
You can order one off Amazon.

It does but he said the distick only goes down a certain distance as the sump is a baffle sump..I know it's probably wrong..."his words not mine"

terryG79

Thank you for your recommendations too

I got one of those from Micksgarage when it was on offer, plan on using it mid service.

I have one of those, it's quite good. 6.5l capacity and I picked it up at a local motor factors for around €100 ac couple of years ago.

If you have a hand drill you can use this for 15 euro (not suitable for petrol)

Then all you need is some tubing you can buy in any hardware or aquarium shop.

Very knacky. Why not suitable for petrol, I wonder?

biko

I suspect because it's plastic

There are certain plastics that are immune to the effects of petrol, are there not? I'm thinking some polycarbonates.

Example from a moped on how well an oil extractor works, he open sump plug after removing oil with pump.

Thats actually very good much appreciated

terryG79

I'd say it's the fume element with the electric current maybe that might be the issue

I'd say your bank on the money - you can see flashing inside one of my drills sometimes.

Got one of these latelyhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Home-Kitchen/Sealey-TP696-Vacuum-Oil-Fluid-Extractor-Manual/B000WZF74M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1497879748&sr=8-2&keywords=sealey+5.5
and tried it out for the first time on my car an 09 a4 tdi
Went down the dipstick fine but i found it very slow to do the oil took the bones of 45min to draw out 4.5 ish litres

Was thinking the diameter of the tube on the last metre is tiny compared to the first bit of tubing im wondering is it possible to change it ?

Was the oil up to temp before you started ?

You could extend the tubing using 1 of these:

Oil was up to about 70 on the dash so I assume that would be ok might try it a bit warmer next time,as it was my first time maybe it was my error didn't want boiling oil falling onto the drive haha

Has anyone bought one of these recently?
If so, how much and where please ? Was it any use.
Need one for 2003 tdi passat. The sump plug is wrecked.

I bought the silverline 4L bulb shaped version online 20 gbp. Bottle and pipes were basic enough, it did the job. It cleans again ok and stores away quite small.

Pump itself only pumps air but was pretty OK.. It did the job perfect. My car has less than 4L oil.. IF you have more, the 4version would be messy as you would have to stop half way through and transfer to waste container... That said, you have to do that mess at the end anyhow.


I see garage of mick has an electric pump only version, which is great too - stores away even smaller and less to clean!

Has anyone tried the ones from Lidl?
I'm trying to remember a Lidl in which I saw about ten of them reduced in bargain corner to about 12 or 13 Euro

Yes, used on rear diff BMW worked well. And on MX5 engine, sucked out 3L in a couple of minutes, wiggled the tube around a bit for a finish, you can hear by the tone of the pump when she's sucking. I use it with a small 12V motorcycle battery and it works a treat. I'm very pleased with mine.

I open that thread because just now are on Lidl available the oil sucking pump. https://www.lidl.ie/en/special-offers.htm?articleId=16430
Yes it sounds like advertising, but no. This is for DIY oil change. Easy to operate by DC12V.



Remember to buy the right spec oil and the oil filter before you suck the old oil out.


Advantages:
cheap oil change
you can select the any brand oil and oil filter what is suitable for you car


Disadvantages:
slow sucking speed (can improve to warm engine oil up to 60 degrees)
storage (or buy every year the new one and still save the money compared by oil changing service price)

I have a sealey vacuum pump,and it has saved me hundreds the last few years, every second service it's important to change the oil filter,but I use this to change all oils( used to have a hybrid so needed to change the tranny oil every year also,go for it anyone wondering about it

Any disadvantage to draining oil using these rather than dropping the sump plug in regards to leaving sediment, oil in the sump etc? Would certainly be more convenient if it was as good.

Do you know the fun part? It can sucks even more oil out than using the standard method to open the plug. Yes the lidl oil sucking pump needs then little upgrade to buy special sucking hose, what stays straight. I am sure the sealey have these too on kit. It can access even that oil what does not coming out by plug.

EDIT:I find from China the ptfe (teflon) tube for that purpose.

I use this vacuum pump https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sealey-Manual-Vacuum-Fluid-Extractor/dp/B000RA16CO/ more expensive than the Lidl one but does a good job with little messing about.
