Oil change pump?

Does anyone here use a pump to change their oil? Just stick it where the dip stick goes and pump out the oil that way? Supposedly it's better because you don't have to replace the drain plug

what the fuck is wrong with you gimmicky cunts. you're not a specialty mechanic shop, just get a fumoto valve if you're lazy.

I didn't say that I did this, but my neighbor does and I don't know if it's worth it.

You replace a gasket on most cars, not the whole plug

I do it old-fasioned. Everything gets out, new gasket on bolt, oil goes directly to waste oil container instead of into the suction tube and then the container

my mom has a diesel smart car that you have to use that pump on, i just got one similar to that for $50 off Amazon. seriously its a fucking nightmare, do not use one unless you have to

it does go into the dipstick tube but you have to pump it like 40 times every 2 minutes, the smart car takes like 2.5L of oil and removing the old oil takes a good hour. a normal car that takes 4.5L of oil i dont even want to imagine how long it would take

Okay, I won't waste my money then!

yeah just change it with the drain plug, you dont have to replace the gasket on drain plugs every time. eventually when the gasket wears you just get a slow drip of a leak or you can just replace it every 3-4 oil changes

theres something else out there that replaces you drain plug with a valve that drains the oil on the oil pan so you just turn the knob and it drains, i dont trust them myself but my girlfriends dad has one on his truck and hasnt had issues

you just have to replace the o'ring
and a box of 50 will probably cost less that the pump

I have never replaced the copper washer on any of my cars over the last 16 years.

I have never had oil drip from the sump plug after an oil change.

This.
