Not sure what the pumping rate is, but, as mentioned above, while the oil is pumping out, I change the air filter.
Only possible downside of the 6.5 L version is I stop half way through to empty contents into an old oil drum for disposal, as it may be risky to assume the 6.5 L pump container will hold the full oil capacity of a diesel.
Not really a problem for me, as I’m usually not in a race.😉
I like it!

They have fairly jumped in price!

I use mine in the same way, I normally find however, that the vacuum reduces at around 4 litres, so would fill the oil drum at that point.

I found it useful too, for brake fluid (with different pipe), power steering, and
even used it in the intercooler - although there wasnt much in there, but it did suck a little out.

I bought one for my father a few years ago for his fish tank. He found it very useful, however, it did break down with corrosion, but I dismantled it, removed a rusted spring, and it seemed to work again lol.

If I need to replace it, there are a number of non branded ones, that i would look at first, as they are half the price, but also have quite substantial hose holder (which mine doesnt).
