Oil extractor pumps
Discussion
V70 2006 D5.
I'm doing very high miles, so need to change the oil more often than I like. As it's a pain in the arrus to remove the undershield, I've decided to get a suction pump for some of the changes.
The dipstick is 5mm thick and Sealey reckon their pump won't fit because the extractor pipe is too thick to go down the tube.
Does anybody use one of these, or another make, successfully?

might sound odd but it's was I was told..
I just got a length of smaller tubing for a couple of quid of ebay (3mm I think...), then taped it into the thicker tube near the pump. As long as you keep the tubes vertical where they join it won't spill anywhere. I use a Silverline pump for regular oil changes (in addition to a proper gargage service each year). It works fine, nice clean easy changes.
The heat of the oil into the plastic container caused it to 'contort' into an odd shape, but it's still liquid-tight!!

Bought one of these. Superb bit of kit. Sucked every drop of oil out, very easy to use.
