Didja ever solve your oil siphoning problem...

I have been looking at this:-

Pela 6000 Oil Pump - Oil Extractor/Oil Extraction Kit. Oil Change Sump Pump! 6 litre

But thought I might check in with you first in case you have come up with a better solution

Seems a bit expensive, what about getting a 12volt kit its a lot cheaper

OIL SUCTION CHANGE PUMP 12V | eBay

Not yet, still searching for a straight, but bendable plastic insert for the dipstick hole.

I did use the pump to transfer some oil I drained from 1 container to another. Due to hose restrictions, the process took at least 10 minutes to complete, but it did transfer. My pump is capable of moving a lot of liquid, but the pipe diameter limits the pump's ability to perform efficiently.

I would stay away from any ebay pump that uses a rotating impeller design. Engine oil is a bit too thick for them to handle. The wording is tricky, they use the word oil & Diesel next to each other to trick buyers into thinking they are capable machines. They do not like to run dry either, so wear would be a factor.

Buy the type that uses inlet & outlet valves to move fluids, they have a lot more power and can run dry without damage. Either way, it will take an amount of time to perform the task, but it's a lot more comfortable to do.

I looked at the specifically designed ones, but they were all too expensive for me.

Did you consider truck airline for the hose? Thought about that the other day.

No, where do you get it, from a brake specialist

What's wrong with taking the sump plug out?

I can't get under the car without lifting it and placing safety stands. Looking for an easier way. I did buy a hydraulic jack for Father's day and used it recently to do a conventional oil change. Until I find a suitable arrangement for my pump, I will use this method. But I don't really feel too well afterwards, unfortunately.

Ramps are as cheap as chips these days,I have had two sets for yonks,I simply drive the drive wheels up on the first set then simply jack the whole rear end up and slide the second set under,takes less than five minutes,I'm actually trying to save up for a good second hand hoist,can pick these up now for less than two K

You could try any heavy vehicle repair shop.

excellent idea, I bet if you went to a truck workshop they might have a old short length lying around and give it you

Good vids Johnno,

My extractor is electric and does not creat a vacuum in the tank, but sucks through it's own housing and then drains into any receptacle. The advantage of this is that vacuum ic continuously being created while turned on and once the oil reaches the valves, you have a fluid coupling all the way back to the sump, so all vacuum created is used to move the oil out as fast as the pump and tubes will allow. One I get the correct diameter tube
I'm sure it won't take more than 5 mins to extract. In the meantime, you perform other tasks as mentioned.
