Sealey Oil/Fluid Extractor Vacuum Pump - Oil Change via Dipstick - 5.5L TP696

This has to be the best piece of kit I have ever bought for car maintenance. I've lost count of how many oil changes I've done with this - two changes a year on two cars (and I've had this for 4 changes of car over the years I've had this). An oil, oil filter and air filter change in less than an hour, no ramps, no crawling under the car, no risks, no mess. I've measured the amount of oil extracted against the amount the manuals say the engine holds and its all there. The two tubes supplied have fitted all sizes of dip stick tubes I've encountered and they can also be used to extract the oil from the bottom of the chamber where the oil filter sits, the old oil filter etc. The pump works as well as it did on day one and I would recommend this to anyone who wants to do regular oil changes without either paying garage prices or, alternatively, having all the hassle and risk of running a car up ramps, crawling underneath and doing your best to avoid a) scalding yourself on the engine or oil, b) damaging or threading the drain plug, c) missing the oil bucket and d) dropping a car on your head. It's so easy to use that my son, who was 10 when I got this, has been setting the pump up and pressurizing it since day one while I explain the finer points of the internal combustion engine. He hates it.

After reading the very good comments I decided to buy the Sealey TP69. I bought this item to change the engine oil in my cars. The first was my Audi A4 1.9 TDI (2007). Wasn't sure what to expect, as I have been disappointed with other purchases in the past (Proxxon Electrical pump). Yet, after using the Sealy for my oil change I must say, this is brilliant! Bring the oil up to temperature. Put in the hose in throught the dipstick hole (8mm works very well in the TDI). Unscrew fillercap to alow airflow to the sump to compensate for the vacuum you are about to create. Pump the handle a couple times up and down (just like you would a bicycle pump) and oil starts to flow immediately. When finished, pull out the hose from the dipstick hole. Keep paper towels nearby for dripping oil. Hold the hose in the air so the last oil will be sucked out of the hose into the container. After filling up the oillevel. You can use the old oil container to dispose of the old oil by just pouring it in (without dripping or spilling). Never was an oil change more easy than this. It did an excellent job. Piece of cake. Really as easy as other comments already suggested! The whole assembly is robust, well made and looks durable. I'm entirely satisfied. Maximum points (stars) from me. Brilliant!

I change the oil in my car which has saved me a lot of money over the years and extended the life of my cars. However it was a job I increasingly dreaded - jacking the car up, crawling under the car on a damp driveway, removing the needless abs plate and then opening the sump screw, dealing with the old oil and then having to reverse the whole process. This vacuum pump is a revelation - far quicker and a fraction of the work! This pump assembles in seconds, easily slips down the oil dipstick tube and after a few pumps begins to suck the oil out. I was concerned that it would not suck all the oil out but the full 4.6 litre capacity of my car was removed in a few minutes. I wish l had this years ago. The pump feels well made and assembles with reassuring tightness. I expect it to last years. From pump assembly to sucking the oil out and changing the filter the whole lot was finished in less than 30 minutes! This is much safer, quicker and cleaner than getting under your car. I am now far more inclined to do oil changes when they are needed rather than putting it off until l absolutely have to change it. I also use the pump on my lawnmower to suck out the old oil as well as sucking out stale petrol after the winter - it’s very handy to have. 5 star - strongly recommended.

I initially bought this because I had too much oil in the car engine after a service, I removed almost 1L using the extractor which was easy to set up and did the job quite well in a short amount of time and made an immediate difference in my engines operation. I have also since performed an oil change too, extracting most of the oil, I sucked just over 4 litres out, my engine holds 4.7L, so got most of it. The oil change went quite well, but the suction power seemed to drop off. I had to keep pumping for a while, and the last 500ml or so was a struggle as the unit was losing pressure somewhere, though to be honest, I am not sure if this was due to the unit having a problem or the fact that there was almost no more oil left to suck out. The unit was also handy when disposing of the used oil, I took along to the local council recycling centre, popped the included nozzle on the bottle and just poured the oil into the recycling drum, wiped it clean and stored it in a plastic bag for another use later in the year. I would recommend the unit for anyone looking to do an oil change without the mess or need to get under the car; I did not replace my oil filter, this was done on the last service about six months ago, so I will let the mechs do this again when I take the car in for a service. Overall, I am pleased with the Sealey TP696 as it has made having an interim oil change so much cheaper than taking it to the local lube shop.

Was always a bit mistrustful of sucking oil out through dipstick hole so used to do oil changes the messy way on our cars. Decided as I got a bit older I didn't like crawling under cars and getting oil all over myself and the driveway and decided to buy one of these a couple of years ago. When I first used it I measured the oil that came out of car carefully and seemed it had got it all ( it helps that our driveway slope down so front of engine lower than rear ) - now change oil once a year and filter every second year on several cars and can do it and stay pretty clean. Also used it to extract old front fork fluid on motorbikes and again, it gets most of it out - much easier than taking half the front of bike apart. Also used when plumbing to empty radiators and pipes as well as sucking water out of any tray i put under pipework ( when it gets too full and looks like overflowing ) - can be used anywhere you need to remove pretty much any fluid from anything, so paid for itself many times over so far. This unit is very sturdy and well made, you just have to remember to warm oil before sucking out and also to hold the pump body with one hand while pumping with the other ( otherwise the pump can pull out, it is only pushed into rubber seal ).

This is great - clean and easy to use. Was a bit sceptical about these so had resisted for years - fool! I wish I'd had this for the last 20 years. So normally, when you pop the drain plug, you get hot oil up your arm, if flows out hitting bits of the car and splashes all over the place, and then you have to deal with a open pan of hot oil, often having to put the plug back in part way through as the pan isn't big enough. This is brilliant, warm the engine oil, push the tube down the dipstick tube and pump a few times - stand back and watch. Now, OK - I still popped the drain plug to investigate for any muck but that was clean and quick. Not tried it on brake bleeding yet but - will never do an oil change without this again!

Used this on my Ford MK4 Mondeo 2L TDCI and I never thought Id say this but it was a pleasure changing the oil! Warmed the engine for 10 minutes, removed the dipstick and inserted the larger diameter tube, gave it a few pumps as it was my first time using it and out came the oil and a few more pumps each time the oil flow slowed and a 5 minutes later it was done, so easy, no jacking up the car, no crawling on the floor, no oil spills or oil over your hands from removing the sump plug. My engine holds a maximum of 5.5 litres and this removed around 5.2 litres, a great result as the oil was a little below the maximum on the dip stick and take into account what was in the oil filter, oil ways and other nooks and crannies in the engine it did a great job. Then it was easy to pour the old oil in the empty oil bottle. Highly recommended.

I bought this for a Citroen C4 where the sump plug couldn't be removed as a "better than nothing" approach to servicing the car. It turned out to be brilliant. Nozzle easily fitted down the dipstick hole and it got the full quantity of oil out in about 15 minutes. I had to pump a few extra times when the level ran low, but I reckon it got as much out as removing the sump plug would have done. No mess, no fuss. Will be using it for regular changes in the future. Also handy for those situations where you've changed the oil, refilled the car and put it back on level ground to find slightly too much in the car - can easily extract a small amount if required.

Tres bon produit,facile a mettre en oeuvre, 5 a 6 coup de pompe et hop c'est parti pour 5.5L en 8 Mn! bref ouverture de garage,tour du quartier, ouverture capot retirer jauge bouchon huile,enfiler le tuyau puis le raccorder chercher clef a filtre,entonnoir,filtre a huile + bidon d'huile dans le garage! mettre un peu d'huile neuve pour bien tout vider ,demonter le filtre ,pose du filtre,remplir d'huile,controle niveau ! vider la pompe la ranger,aller balancer l'huile a la decheterie ,retour,fermeture garage! le tout 1 H ! filtre + huile 25 € la pompe amortie en 2 vidanges vu que la vidange simple en centre auta est passer a 65 €

Materialqualität,Verarbeitung und Funktionalität hervorragend. Mit dieser Handpumpe habe ich meinen allerersten PKW Öl- und Filterwechsel in nullkommanix sauber und gründlich durchgeführt. Öltemperatur natürlich je wärmer desto besser, bin aber davon überzeugt, dass die Pumpe auch nicht erwärmtes Öl mit ihrer Saugkraft zuverlässig abgepumpt hätte.

Il prezzo è piuttosto alto (e per questo non dò le 5 stelle), ma è molto pratico ed efficace. E' un serbatoio con pompa aspirante a mano e un solo tubo di aspirazione, con terminale di diametro adatto ad entrare nella cannula dell'astina per il controllo livello. La pompa aspira aria dal serbatoio e l'olio ne viene risucchiato dentro in pochissimi minuti. Non ci sono tubi di rinvio come nelle pompe classiche e non c'è nessun pericolo di perdite o fuoriuscite d'olio. Alla fine del lavoro si tolgono pompa e tubo aspirante (hanno semplici innesti a pressione) e si travasa l'olio in una tanica o un altro recipiente adatto. C'è in dotazione un beccuccio per facilitare il travaso. Tutto l'apparecchio è in plastica, ma è sufficentemente robusto. Lavorando con un minimo di attenzione si riesce ad estrarre completamente l'olio dal motore senza versarne nenche una goccia e senza sporcarsi le mani, ed era proprio quello che cercavo, dopo aver sperimentato varie pompe sia a mano che elettriche. Solo con questo apparecchio sono riuscito con facilità a fare un lavoro pulito senza seminare olio per il garage, sulla carrozzeria o addosso ai vestiti. E adesso non vedo l'ora che arrivi il momento del prossimo cambio dell'olio!

Me ha gustado y ha funcionado bien con el aceite caliente claro, para lo cual hay que poner el motor en marcha un rato o bien circular durante un rato -pueden ser de 10 a 15 minutos más o menos-. Pero sí, al final saco todo el aceite del motor. Eso si después es un pringue limpiarlo, es lo que tiene el aceite de motor usado.

practico, limpio.Lo recomiendo. Util ahorras dinero con los cambios de aceite del auto. Fuerte , buenos materiales.lo volveria a comprar.
