Easiest Oil change ever

Bought an oil pump from good old Lidl as I hoped it would perhaps mean that I could change my oil without crawling around on the wet drive - bit put off by the stated flow rate of .2 ltr/min for engine oil but hey presto - less than 10 minutes and 8 litres sucked from the sump - brilliant bit of kit for less than £15 with a 3 year warranty - so easy that I did my other car and my daughters as well!!

Seems a good thing but I would still loosen the sump plug and the secondary one if I ever find it and let it drain naturally without the dreaded mess Thumbs Up
Can someone tell me where the second plug is coz I can't find it Thumbs Up

United Kingdom 2004 Range Rover Autobiography Td6 Java Black

I have used these on my previous 5 series so much easier than crawling on the ground. I have done a service on my Td6 as it was the first service I gave it since buying it I drained the oil from the sump plug, needless to say some ended up on my drive.
At least I know all the old crap oil was out, next service will be using the oil extraction pump no more mess or lying on my back under the car. Smile 2004 Autobiography TD6 Java Black

The sump plug only drains about a litre of oil on a 4.4 tdv8 ford engine the only way to drain the oil is sucking it out?

Scotland 2010 Range Rover HSE TDV8 Zambezi Silver

I have been using an electric pump since the disaster on the driveway (oil everywhere)

However, once I pump the oil out, I still drain the sump.. I get about a litre and half out and that way all the dirt/sludge etc from the bottom of the pan comes out both front and rear sump.

Since I have blanked the egr, I expect the next oil change and the new oil to be cleaner for longer. Leaving any old oil behind (oil change with electric pump only) will contaminate the oil and the new oil will look black on day one. Current:

Easiest way is to use the spanner from behind i.e. under the bell housing.. once loose the oil drips through the holes on the small cross member type metal plate.. once drained.. I spray the break cleaner to make sure there is no oil left of the metal plate. Current:

I use a pump as well, then drain the last little bit but to be honest it’s always only a dribble!

One of the best purchases I’ve made Cool
