Where can I buy a vacuum oil extractor to remove 5.5 Litres of engine oil from my car for a quick, easy and clean oil change.Examples found are Liquivac Topside Oil Changer from Amazon (who will not ship to NZ), and Pela PL-6000 from Pela Products UK !

Not sure how well these work on cars, as the dipstick tube does not always reach the bottom of the sump.
Anyone tried it!

undoing the sump plug seems to be the cheaper & easier method to me. it don't cost anything.

Your local BNT store will have them, I use one for my boat, hell of a lot easier than trying to get at the sump plug.

Undoing the sump plug is OK for an experienced mechanic in a well equiped workshop with apropriate spanners, jacks, drain tanks and wheel ramps.Why do it the hard way ! I am 72; I can't get under my car.I would have to buy wheel ramps, and the device I'm seeking costs $55 if I can find one.

8" spanner from $2 shop will fit, drive parrallel onto the footpath with 2 wheels still on the road gives you undercar access, saves on the ramps, dump the oil in the gutter, or if you care, a $10 drainpan from supercheap, refit the plug, top up with oil, drive away. so far you've spent $2 or $12 depending on how "greenie" you are & the job is done. it don't take an experianced mechanic to undo a sump plug.

There's a couple here on TM, more like $150 than $50 though.
