12v electric oil pump for oil change

[jumbojake]

50mins to extract oil ... you can easily lift the car (ramps for me), drain the oil, replace the filter and re-fill with oil in much less time.

I get the reduced mess, but to me it seems like a compromise, brought on by some Euro cars not including sump plugs  (in their progress to none service engines with limited lifespans) ... a backward step I think.  A 100k plus car is no use to a manufacturer.. they want us to change regularly... but I disagree.. got a nice car, want to keep it nice as long as I can.

As for filters, only use genuine toyota for the oil  (which I think is Denso brand)... only a few quid... and ensure oil is to the spec in the manual (I use millers, but any at the right spec with do)

A more powerful pump is needed.

But having said that, jacking up for just oil drain doesn't make sense if the filter access is from the top.

I didn't need to change clothes for the job. All nice and clean with low risk of spill. I think this is the future.
