Have (and love) my 2016 4.4 SDV. Only had it a few months and done about 5,000 miles
I know about the issues regarding oil dilution so want to change the oil as a preventative measure.

I have looked on Amazon at the manual 9l pumps (about £40).
Are these any good or should I invest in something beefier?

Also, what oil should I be putting back into the good lady?

And what filters?
I have a feeling the Stealership ones will be overpriced and underperforming.

Thanks

Mahle filter/Smith & Allen oil/Neilsen pump (needs small compressor, but worth having long term).

I don't see why people use the manual pumps.

A cheap little 12v pump sucks the oil out in a couple minutes, straight into a container of your choice.

I use one of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186436295446

Mahle filter is OX153/7D2 Kev

Try Opie oils, they do service kits, 2X 5l cans of oil plus filter element.
Just enter your reg number on their website and you are certain of getting correct spec oil etc.

I use a 10l bucket and the sump plug. Old style.

That pump looks great Kev, is the tube it comes with long enough to get to the bottom of the sump ? And do you connect on the engine battery terminals? Thx.
Might save me getting under the car ! overfinch modified

No need for the tube to reach the bottom of the sump as you connect the pump tube to the engine oil extraction pipe which is next to the oil filler cap. This pipe runs all the way to the bottom of the engine sump.

Twist to remove the cap on the extraction pipe, fit the pump tube over the top, loosen the filler cap and suck away!

Yep, just connect the pipe to the suction tube and the cables to the battery posts under the bonnet and pump the oil out. Just make sure your engine oil is nice and warm and it'll suck it out in no time. Kev

Many thanks Kev  overfinch modified

I like crawling under the truck at least every other oil change(I'm on a 5k rotation) - gives me a chance to poke around and look at other things. I get under there and look and clean and wipe all while letting the sump drain fully. I am not in the 5 minute oil change business - so I have time.
Working from home, I will run down to the shop at lunch and get the Td6 draining - won't go back to finish the job until after dinner...

I changed the transmission fluid on my Daughter's 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee this past week. That damn sump has no drain hole, so I bought a compressor driven xfer pump.

I gotta say - that worked pretty well... but for my 2016 Td6 - I am going to keep using my ramps and crawling under.

I switched to Shell Rotella T6 5W-40 to combat dilution and 5K is just easy to remember. 100, 105, 110, etc.
It usually takes me 6-8 months to put up 5K so it is worth it to swap that often. 2006 L322 HSE LUX 4.4NA Jag V8 Buckingham Blue/Ivory - 'Col Reb'

Total junk. Connector blew off the outlet and covered me and the front of the car with hot engine oil. Luckily I have a lathe and was able to make a proper connector but if you don't just buy the Draper expert. Also rewired it to make the electrical lead longer and remade the suction hose connector. Took about 15 mins to drain the sump but all the time worrying the pump would burn out or sieze up. Properly implemented a pump like this could work well but this model is  2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)
