Maybe 15 mins for my 9L E class ?? I normally do it on a sunny day with a cup of tea and change the oil filter as it’s pumping out so I lose track of time

How long does the electric pump take to fully drain also does it not drain your battery?

About 10 mins depending on how big your engine is. Never had an engine not start after using this

Unless you forget to fill it back up with oil

Not done that (yet), although I have forgotten to replace the sump bolt in the past
Do you mean the electric one? If so have you used it and how long did it take? I was a bit worried it may drain the battery before it had finished

If the Lidl oil extractor drains your battery then it’s time for a new battery...!

And even then, it would still start... ( unless there was a built in low oil sensor that would prevent it from starting ) but the question is how long it would run for...Unless you forget to fill it back up with oil

Ive always drained but thinking of using a pump, looking at this you have shown, i'm a great panicker looking at the picture how about that black plastic coming off in the engine !!If anyone is interested, the Lidl one is back on sale next Thursday for £9.99. They have some other goodies too including a CTEK

Just reading instructions on Lidl oil pump. It says oil no hotter than 60 and don't let pump run for more than 30 mins. It says flow rate for oil at 60 is 0.2 litres a minute. So at best it's a litre every 5 mins. Car takes 6.5 litres so may have to give pump a rest says leave for 10 mins if been running for the maximum 30 mins.

I still prefer the old fashioned sump plug drain method

The black plastic goes into an empty container. The thin clear pipe goes down the dipstick tube
