I recommend warming the oil before extraction. It goes much faster. Also, the dipstick location isn't necessarily the deepest part of the oil pan. I recommend wiggling the tube after bubbles appear to search for more oil. You're never going to get every drop but it makes sense to spend a couple of minutes searching for oil pools. I have no idea why this person removed the hoses from the pump. I just got one of these and I wish I'd done it decades ago.
@@carmel-wayfinder5401 I have no idea what a POLO is however the older it is and the worse the condition the more likely it isn't your last vehicle. All the pump kits like the one in the video I've seen on Ebay are around $25-$30 and will probably last a lifetime.
one thing i would recommend is to use a narrow pvc/metal pipe that fits into the dipstick opening instead of tubing.. tubing has a tendency to curl up resulting in not reaching the bottom of the oil pan and having more old oil leftover inside the engine.. otherwise good technique
I used a 6x0.5mm brass pipe wich works perfectly for my car with a hose that has 6mm inside diameter to prevent any unnecessary restrictions. generally a vane pump is desigend to be a vacuum pump or hydraulic pump for pretty thin fluids, that's why the engine should be warm and as Mavis said, shouldn't be used for transmission fluid, ATF would be fine tho I did modify my pump to increase cooling for longevity and to double the vacuum it can pull. I will propably end up using it at work to test it's longevity, since they are pretty cheap I think it's a fun little project^^ also it saves some time and gets more oil out than just draining it.
God dam hand pump blow oil all over my garage, I smash it I'm a fit of rage. I sent it back to Amazon in a bag full of shards and black oil. Fuck em it's the second time I been fucked this week
I got one similar to it and OMG it is so useful. I use it on my Lawn Mowers, Tractors, Cars, Trucks even on Small Engines... Also, I use it on Gear Oil + Transmission Oil + EVERYTHING..... OMG, this thing made my life easier !!!
Just wanted to share my experience, I have exactly the same electric oil extraction pump, bought in Lidl, it's about 10€/$, and I did a little test on my Ford Mondeo Mk4 with 2.5T engine, my plan was to extract as much as possible with a pump and to see how much will go out from the oil drain. Oil filter on this engine is top mounted cartridge, so it's easy and clean to remove it, and all the oil goes down to the oil pan when oil cap is unscrewed, because it's pressurised and full otherwise. I measured oil dipstick length and put thin sucking tube which goes even further than a dipstick, I felt little resistance when the tube curved on the bottom and there was definite stop when the tube touched bottom oil pan wall. My advice is to put can for the old oil as low as possible, basically on the ground and not on the engine, I have inspection pit so I can put it even lower, gravity is a friend in this case. Also engine was warm of course, so as the oil naturally, about 1.5h after engine was on operating temperature and ignition was turned off, so the oil can drain to the bottom as much as possible but also to remain thin and easy for the pump to extract. I let the pump to pull out to the point when on the other side of the tube was just drops of oil. When I removed oil drain plug, prepared to catch some amount, and eager to find out how much will it be, I was surprised that there wasn't even one drop of oil. For my car with this engine it works perfectly, you must find out for your car, can it pull out all or almost all, and does it make sense to extract oil using this method. I think you could tolerate up to 0.3L of old oil remained in the pan ONLY if you have no other option to change the oil correctly. In any case I will continue to change the oil from the pit, because i find it satisfying to do it myself 'old fashion' way, but if you have top mounted filter and if the pump extract all or almost all oil than this is perfect for you.
Thanks for sharing. I find it very useful for my boat. Would not really use it on a car as the oil filter needs changing too and the flow is very slow at 200ml per minute
I am just back from using the lidls pump and while I didn't time it,...... It took at least 5 minutes for the first litre then seemed to stop pumping?? Plus the noise was too much for a Sunday afternoon in a housing estate...I'm not able to do the old fashioned way any more and thought this would be better. I am a retired heating engineer and fairly familiar with pumps and fuel filters. The day was running away from me so I stopped the oil change.. I just topped up and I'm going to have another go during the week but I'm going to seal the top of the dipstick tube with bluetack to see if it creates a better pull from the pump .
@@sorleymcsorley5558 You are right Mr Sorley. Yours is not a one off case... Mine does it too and I only use it on the boat where there is no alternative. Hope the bluetack thing works !
I bought one of these on a whim and it's the best tool I've bought. Although it does take time, it's still quicker (for me anyway) than faffing about jacking the car up to get underneath and faffing about with sump plugs and seals etc, just turn it on, make a brew, come back and it's done. Not entirely sure what you mean about the filter, this doesn't stop you changing the oil filter in any way.
You should place the used oil container on the floor below the pump to let gravity help with the flow. Also you should warm the oil for 6/8 mins by running the engine to make it easier to pump oil instead of cold thicker oil.
For older cars with small bore dipstick tubes the vacuum bottle type works better but is slow, where the dispstick tube is large bore these 12v pumps are great. Park on a slope or use a jack to ensure you scavenge most of the oil.
Yeah they're great when the tube fits. I tried it on my Peugeot 308 and it fitted into the dipstick tube but didn't go all the way to the bottom. It only emptied about half the oil :(
I have a Honda CR-V and I'm going to use mine to change and refill the diff oil. As it pumps at about 0.2 litres per minute, it should do the job in 6 minutes or so. I normally drain my engine oil by sump plug. Thanks for the video! 👍🏻
These pumps are a great idea but one glaring problem stands out that surprises me the manufacturers of these pumps have not done to make the job easier. Put thumb screws in place of regular screws to attach the hoses. They are not under high pressure so thumbs screws would be perfect as opposed to screwdrivers slipping off the slot as you try to tighten it.
I bought one of these when I saw on offer at Lidl. Tried it on my Hyundai i30 diesel, and it sucked about 3 litres out, then wouldn't draw any more out. I had to get under the car and drain the remaining 2 litres out. Also tried on a Ford puma and didn't draw any oil out. I even tried sucking the oil out from the draining dish into an oil carton, so I could be sure that the suction hose was in the oil, but it wouldn't pump. I can only think the oil has to be very hot and thin to suck it through the suction hose. Also, with a diesel when the oil becomes very black, it is hard to tell whether it is pumping air or oil because you can't see through the hoses.
I'm an electrician and work in the petrochem industry, you should definitely not use this for pumping fuel as the motor is not built to the same standards, being non sparking.
That looked like about 2 litres of oil, it usually takes 3 to 4 litres to fill up the oil in most sedans that I’ve owned. How much oil do you think was left in the engine?
It's actually most of the oil that was in there. It probably left a small amount due to the shape of the sump but it's hard to tell exactly without draining it.
I have a very low sportscar and cant get under it, metal jack up ramps far too risky , i will NOT pay a RIP OFF price of 35 dollars at a drive thru, so this harbor freight pump for ten bucks does fine , i can get to the filter from above by taking off the alt, also use a thick oiL the runny thin stuFF is watered down, very good video shots well done friend
What about your oil filter? There will also be particulates that settle to the bottom of the oil pan that this pump isn't going to get out so it needs to be drained.
If the small hose fits into your dipstick tube and goes all the way to the bottom of the oil pan, it would probably do as a temporary measure but I would try and get that stripped bolt removed and replaced asap as draining the oil from under the pan is the best way to remove all the gunk and debris from the engine.
This is what the instruction manual says: ♦ Clean the oil suction pump after every job is done by pumping a little fresh oil through it. ♦ Clean the connection terminals after each pumping. Wipe off any possibly present battery fluid on the connection terminals with a dry cloth so as to protect them from corrosion. ♦ Clean the surfaces of the device and the hoses with a soft, dry cloth.
@@screwsnutsandbolts Finally did it! I got a 5mm silicone hose that, with a bit of heat, attached perfectly to the original one. It worked but took forever and 3 days! Really, it took some 4 or 5 hours! This hose is only slightly thinner than the original one, so how long does it usually take? I was under the impression that 10 to 15 minutes... Not even close! (my car uses about 4 liters of oil). Overall it worked and the silicone hose is actually great, it's extremely flexible and sort of coils itself at the lowest point, so it got pretty close to all the oil out. But 5 hours!?!?
These pumps or even pneumatic once don’t suck the oil out completely. They leave about a litre behind. You can confirm this by removing the sump plug after you use the pump.
I have a similar pump bought for 56.00 and it takes about 20 to 30 minutes to pump out 5 Liters. How long does yours take? I am looking at buying one that goes faster.
I have a question. Is there a way to convert this to an outlet? I tried using a 240v to 12v 6.6amp adaptor but it doesnt work properly. Anyone knows why?
They are fine for heating oil Diesel etc not Petrol .They will leave any metal particles behind in the sump from ware on engine.So mechanic advises me not to buy one. Just saying what I was told .
İ used another car's battery when the car's engine is running i connect the pump to İTS battery + and - but it melted the pumps wires why did it happen ? Is its power more than 12v 5ah when the car's engine running?
@@screwsnutsandbolts yes the pump worked for awhile without pumping the oil.is it possible becaouse of this without pumping the oil to work the pump machine ?
@@malcolm7226 Test it and see yourslef.The hose js not flexible enough but you can remove the drain olug and see how much oil will get out. For some ppl this may be ok but I try to get every drop out.
i just bought this device from lidl...my old audi has the sump bolt hole rounded so even a new sump bolt wont torque up...i plugged it with PTF tape & a big blob of high temp silicone...so, i wont have to do that any more...
@@aleddavies770 yeh, new plug doesn't tighten up...a previous owner must have over tightened it...but i shut it up for now & dont want to have to go through the rigmarole again...hence me buying the pump ; D
Not true !!! I plug in, I sit down and wait until I hear the tone changes on the pump. During that time, I am able to do other things..... BEST OF ALL.... NO MESS !!!
@@JodBronson if you work on small engines and small oil sump then its ok, but larger engine probably quicker draining oil the old fashioned way. Good for you if you get the job done without mess and that you're able to do other things while it's pumping 👍
@@radwanmiah8150 - YES, if that is a big truck, I would definitely need a bigger pump + hose to do it. But this is for small jobs and during that time, I do other things. Oh, I use it to refill fluid too.
👎 Dipstick tube on a VW Golf mk5 1.6 FSI is too thin. Couldn't use the supplied feed tube. Even a spare 5mm tube I had wouldn't fit. No option other than to do an oil change the old fashioned way.
You might be able to disconnect the plastic top part of the dipstick tube and put the feed tube in the lower part of the ds tube. I've never tried it myself so it could be hard to get to: th-cam.com/video/T4zRLxu7k1g/w-d-xo.html
@@screwsnutsandbolts Unfortunately, the TDI and FSI engines are quite different when it comes to the dipstick tube. On the FSI, it's basically a hole in the engine block. No way of removing it as per the link. For all the effort that it would take, it's all the same just getting under the car and releasing the oil from the sump plug. Good chance this will work for others.
OK, what about changing the filter? That's the really hard part because the manufacturer put it in an unreachable location so you have to go back to the dealer and have one of his high paid idiots do the job. ( only idiot mechanics work for dealers). Next issue, why is he still using a 19th century slotted screw on the hose clamps, why not a phillips, a robertson, or a torx that won't slip out of the slot while using it? Henry Ford did this 100 years ago.
Pro tip. Racers are using this tool when they build race car. They remove all oil from their engine. Weight reduction plus engine revs higher. Your engine does not need oil. Oil companies tricked you into spending money for expensive oil. 😜
And you just left at least a quarter in the oil pan. To get all the oil from the pan you still have to remove the drain plug.These pumps are useless....
@@petkoandreev7869 my 2009 Mercedes SLK 350 for one . I've used extraction primarily with this car and there's virtually no oil left . Of course I do have a magnetic drain plug and I use a piece of copper pipe instead of the clear hose down the dipstick to the bottom of the oil pan.
Used a manual pump on my audi when nothing more came out i was curious to see how much oil was still left. Barely half a cup of oil which is miniscule. But if you have ocd then it would bother you.

I'm an electrician and work in the petrochem industry, you should definitely not use this for pumping fuel as the motor is not built to the same standards, being non sparking.
Put the plastic bottle on the floor! Because it’s lower than the tube and tank it will drain quicker and more efficient!

how long to get off how many gallons out?
With engine oil it pumps about 1 liter every 5 minutes
The bottle that the oil is draining into would do better being lower than the pump.
Won't there be oil at the bottom❓

Yes, it is hard to get all of the oil out of the sump using these pumps
Are the hose clamps really necessary?
Probably not but I'd rather use them than risk having a hose pop off while it's pumping. Especially the output hose :)

@@screwsnutsandbolts OK, thanks so now I know mine was working like it should.
@@erwinerwin1245 You're welcome :)
Advice: open it. Bypass the fuse and add a new fuse in the wires outside.
It stops working when you need it...
you might have mentioned model, year, engine size and oil capacity and how much oil you pumped out, and how long it took
you could use an engine flush to thin oil and get all the crap out of it
I usually drain the engine oil from under the car but I just thought I'd do a demo video of this 12v pump :)
And what if a litre of oil mixed with engine flush remained after pumping, that would be a disaster.
Interesting video. Thumbs up 👍
Thank you ! :)
I have a question. Is there a way to convert this to an outlet? I tried using a 240v to 12v 6.6amp adaptor but it doesnt work properly. Anyone knows why?
Shitty adapter.
How long did the entire process take?
I think it was about 5 minutes
it's quicker just to take the sump bolt off and let it drain out
Some kits don't use the glue so it should be ok
Only one thing wasnt mention the oil needs to be at normal running temp otherwise good video
Thanks, I thought I had mentioned that. I've added it to description :)
So how long does it take to pump the oil out?
I think it was about 8-10 minutes
They are fine for heating oil Diesel etc not Petrol .They will leave any metal particles behind in the sump from ware on engine.So mechanic advises me not to buy one. Just saying what I was told .
Yeah, well guess what the mechanic wants? Wants you to go back to him and take your money to do the job.
İ used another car's battery when the car's engine is running i connect the pump to İTS battery + and - but it melted the pumps wires why did it happen ? Is its power more than 12v 5ah when the car's engine running?
It could go over 14 volts when the engine is running but I don't think that would be enough to melt the wires. Did the pump work before burning out ?
@@screwsnutsandbolts yes the pump worked for awhile without pumping the oil.is it possible becaouse of this without pumping the oil to work the pump machine ?
It's possible, they're not supposed to be run dry.
@@screwsnutsandbolts thank you so much for your suggestions.i will try it again.
@@Theogus45 Hope it works out ok
How many quarts does it extract before it can no longer pull the oil up ? Hummmmmm
It depends on the shape of the sump
I've heard, someone whilst doing this started their engine halfway through so the battery wasn't drained😭
Do you know, that idea briefly flashed into my mind too ! lol :)
That's what I done. Made my engine sound very loud and strange and then it just stopped!!! Nit gonna use that pump on my next car!
@@biggur5 Hope u are joking
@@martymartin2894 🤣
Where can you buy this pump ?
I got this in Lidl but there are plenty of different ones about.
Ebay,amazon

I always recommend the genuine way,

Nice
Thanks !
that was a 5 litre can?
it looks like it's only took a bit of the oil out the engine 🤔
Toyota Aygo 1litre only takes 3.1 litres
@@RM-ps8lf
it did look less than 3.1L
just watched it again
that looks like 2.5L came out, I have to admit your video editing is second to none 😎
I've got a new one in my boot, I'm yet to try it lol
Yeah does look less than 3.1... maybe it burnt a load already
U need to heat the engine first .
Is it possible to drain whole engine oil out?
It usually leaves a little bit of oil in the pan
No,it does not!The dipstick is not the lowest point in the pan.
Petko Andreev the pipe should be long enough
@@malcolm7226 Test it and see yourslef.The hose js not flexible enough but you can remove the drain olug and see how much oil will get out. For some ppl this may be ok but I try to get every drop out.
Petko Andreev Which car and engine you have?
May I know the model of the Pump and where to get it
Get at Lidl grocery store. They always have interesting and random tools that you could buy from that place. I love it!!!!!

I don’t think you pumped all the oil out.
Depending on the shape of the sump there may be a small amount of oil left at the bottom.
Not Made in China?
What the hell is the point of this device? Just drain it from the sump
i just bought this device from lidl...my old audi has the sump bolt hole rounded so even a new sump bolt wont torque up...i plugged it with PTF tape & a big blob of high temp silicone...so, i wont have to do that any more...
nimblehorse new sump plug?
@@aleddavies770 yeh, new plug doesn't tighten up...a previous owner must have over tightened it...but i shut it up for now & dont want to have to go through the rigmarole again...hence me buying the pump
; D
nimblehorse which Audi you have ?
@@aleddavies770 20 year old A4 quarto
The time it took to drain the oil with pump it would have been quicker getting under the car drain the oil and replace oil filter
Not true !!! I plug in, I sit down and wait until I hear the tone changes on the pump. During that time, I am able to do other things..... BEST OF ALL.... NO MESS !!!
@@JodBronson if you work on small engines and small oil sump then its ok, but larger engine probably quicker draining oil the old fashioned way. Good for you if you get the job done without mess and that you're able to do other things while it's pumping 👍
@@radwanmiah8150 - YES, if that is a big truck, I would definitely need a bigger pump + hose to do it. But this is for small jobs and during that time, I do other things. Oh, I use it to refill fluid too.
Be quicker using a straw
lol :)
Where can you bit one
Look on eBay
lidl
👎 Dipstick tube on a VW Golf mk5 1.6 FSI is too thin. Couldn't use the supplied feed tube. Even a spare 5mm tube I had wouldn't fit. No option other than to do an oil change the old fashioned way.
You might be able to disconnect the plastic top part of the dipstick tube and put the feed tube in the lower part of the ds tube. I've never tried it myself so it could be hard to get to: th-cam.com/video/T4zRLxu7k1g/w-d-xo.html
@@screwsnutsandbolts Unfortunately, the TDI and FSI engines are quite different when it comes to the dipstick tube. On the FSI, it's basically a hole in the engine block. No way of removing it as per the link. For all the effort that it would take, it's all the same just getting under the car and releasing the oil from the sump plug. Good chance this will work for others.
@@ottofumbler7267 That's a pity. Narrow dipstick tubes in a lot of cars limit the use of this pump
OK, what about changing the filter? That's the really hard part because the manufacturer put it in an unreachable location so you have to go back to the dealer and have one of his high paid idiots do the job. ( only idiot mechanics work for dealers). Next issue, why is he still using a 19th century slotted screw on the hose clamps, why not a phillips, a robertson, or a torx that won't slip out of the slot while using it? Henry Ford did this 100 years ago.
I was only demonstrating the pump, and I used the hose clamps that came with the pump.
Pro tip. Racers are using this tool when they build race car. They remove all oil from their engine. Weight reduction plus engine revs higher. Your engine does not need oil. Oil companies tricked you into spending money for expensive oil. 😜
Don t do this never!
Its rubbish use manual pump
And you just left at least a quarter in the oil pan. To get all the oil from the pan you still have to remove the drain plug.These pumps are useless....
Depends on the vehicle . Some do not leave much if any oil after extraction.
@@stringsattached67 Like which one for example?Oil pans are not flat and the lowest points are the drain plugs not the stick.
@@petkoandreev7869 my 2009 Mercedes SLK 350 for one . I've used extraction primarily with this car and there's virtually no oil left . Of course I do have a magnetic drain plug and I use a piece of copper pipe instead of the clear hose down the dipstick to the bottom of the oil pan.
@@stringsattached67 Well,if there is less than 50ml that it should be ok.
Used a manual pump on my audi when nothing more came out i was curious to see how much oil was still left. Barely half a cup of oil which is miniscule. But if you have ocd then it would bother you.
That didn't get all the oil🤣😃😁
How much time for 1liter ?
About 5 minutes per liter of motor oil
