Fluid extracter pump

[karozza]

I do my own oil changes & would like to use one of these hand pumps, or maybe one I can hook up to my air compressor.

Any suggestions??

Will it be good for the SL, being that there are two drain plugs meaning there's another segment to the sump!?

I have one of these (Sealey) which I have used for all sorts of stuff and is a fantastic handpump...

I also have one of the electric unit that runs on the car battery, but the Sealey's tubes are far better at making their way down the dipstick pipes as they are semi rigid.

I've seen this which can also be hooked up to an air compressor which I would prefer.

Oil extraction pumps work very well (and is the method used by the dealerships) but not on models with a saddle sump and two drain plugs as you'll leave a significant quantity of old oil behind

I've got a Pela pump which works well but it takes a good half hour or so to empty the engine so you've really got to get the engine hot before you start.
