Oil change with a Pela Pump

Post by Kincaid » Sun Mar 27, 2011 8:56 pm

I've been looking at the fluid extraction pumps (http://www.pelapumps.co.uk/) and wondered if anyone on the Forum was already using them. Do any of you have these and do you find them worth the money? Are you able to use them for more than the engine oil change? What size pump would you recommend? :?

Thanks!

I have one. It's not as quick as I'd expected, but it is very convenient.

also brilliant at bleeding brakes too!

sounds great then :mrgreen: Do they remove all of the oil or do you need to do a sump-plug type change every so often?

There's always going to be a wee bit left - up to you if you drop the plug sometimes - nice to get any swarf off the magnet once in a while.....
