At that flow rate it'll take 30-40min to empty your sump?

It's a leisurely oil change then.

I bought one of these a while ago but havn't had the chance to use it as yet, but got it for around the same price...far better flow rate

I have one, not from Lidl, but the same.

Works a treat...and does not take long to empty the sump...perhaps 10 minutes? It looks like the one in the post above this..but they are the same.

I paid £15.58 from Ebay.

Dont forget to keep your engine runing so the battery doesnt go flat

It was funny...but you are correct...do not turn your engine on when draining the oil!!!!

I don't get it? How does a washing up bowl suck the oil out?

 

[MancMike]

Those with the pumps, can they suck warm/hot oil? As I've always warmed it first to make it flow out easier.

Edit: Ah, 40~60 degrees, that'll work.

I get the engine up to running temp (20 minute drive). Then suck it out (using an electric pump)

Not a problem as long as you are not tempted to start the engine to charge the battery....

EDIT: been mentioned already..

I suppose you could power it from another car - it's astonishing how much faster the tyre compressor works when the engine is running.

Bought one on Monday to try out, but I think I'll stick to my Pela vacuum extractor and will be returning it to Lidl.

It might be less than half price, but I found the tube that fits into the dipstick tube rather short (won't be any good on my annual ATF change on my Subaru) and flimsy, unlike the long metal reinforced tube on the Pela. Can't see it lasting either as the clear tubing looks like a sreenwash or aquarium air tube which became very soft and discoloured (opaque) after just one oil change. I only warmed the engine up for 10 minutes as I felt it might soften. It took alot longer than the vacuum pump too.

The Pela has served me well for over 8 years and was around £30 delivered.

If someone is actually silly enough to do that then maybe they shouldnt be draining the oil to start with, it was just a little light hearted nothing else.

I see that they call this model the 'ultimate speed', yet it flows just 0.2L (let's say hot) engine oil per minute.

They must be banking on an assumption that users won't bother taking them back for a refund when they fail within three months, let alone three years, the former period being more likely on what is clearly 'Chinese tat'.

As I said, I have one, it worked very well. And will last more than 3 months...won't change the oil again for another year.

After Renault121 posted on this forum, I bought an eBay one for £15. I proceeded to change the oil in all four of my cars before lending it to my neighbour who did his three cars. I Have now also done two gearboxes.

So it's cost about £1,50 an oil change so far. Deduct from the £1.50 the cost of gloves, jacking up the car, new sump plug seals and hand soap? I figure I owe it money.
