5 minutes a litre according to the info on the lidl's pump.--

About 7 litres in the diesel engine so around 35 minutes total.

They also say to let the pump cool for a while half way through the process.------

This is for hot oil. If the oil is cold I guess you could go for a couple of weeks holiday while it's draining.----- this way to the sea side.--Lol.

Cool half way through? Is that for all pumps?

One in my video was grand until the last litre or so, once it lost the vacume and I had to figure out the best spot to get it out of the sump it was better then.

Wouldn't say 0.2 litres a minute, maybe just under 1/2 a litre a minute myself.

Will it pump straight through or do you have to 'cool' half way?

I use the 6.5 L sealy pump.

https://www.sealey.co.uk/product/563...luid-extractor

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).

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.

Vacuum and I've used it very successfully for years now with no problems at all.

A few pumps on the handle then sit down and drink my tea and a couple of slices of cake to go with it.-

Pela every time with no electrical connection needed.
