A different type of motor pump, may be better but the Lidl one I had, I only attempted to use it for removing heating oil from an oil tank. Was the wrong tool for the job to be fair, but it was noisy (as time went on - abandoned the idea after a 5 gallon drum), and slower than I hoped. For engine oil, it would probably be fine if the oil was warmed up, but I would consider power source, or separate battery to operate it - I rarely even use the stereo with the engine off lol (but that may just be me).
I am a fan of the vacuum pump, it is quiet (which makes it easier to hear it 'slurp' when it gets to the end of the process) and relatively quick. At the end, pour it out and wipe the hoses, then pack away. The motor type, continued to dribble small amounts of oil.
