Sealey Manual Vacuum Oil & Fluid Extractor Pump 6.5L - TP69

This is an excellent piece of kit. For car engine oil changes I have always removed the sump drain plug. With this kit I was able to remove almost all the old oil from the sump. To check how much was old oil was still in the sump I removed the plug and drained less than 0.5 litres (may be even less than 0.25l). So it does work very well and what's even better is that you can leave it pumping automatically and come back to find its all done! I will be using this for all future oil changes. If I buy a new car I will do the same test to see how much oil it leaves in the sump as different makes of car can have odd shaped sumps leaving more or less oil in the sump. Anything less than 0.5 litres is a win in my book.

Removed 5.5ltrs easily from my SLK.. no mess, no drama. Pump for vacuum and pour yourself a cuppa while it removes the oil, fit new oil filter and your ready to pour in fresh oil. Job done, no spills over the drive and easy to pour out old oil in to container ready to take to local tip to dispose of. Also seems pretty sturdy so should last years.

I needed car for dirty work, so I bought one which seems to be in good mechanical condition, but with very bad body. I tried to service it myself on the normal way - draining the engine oil through the sump plug. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to unscrew it and decided to try to pump out the oil. There were few cheaper options, but I decided to give a try to this one - at least, it is from well recognised brand. Luckly, it did the job and I think it did it very well. My car is Nissan Nore E11 (the firs generation, 08 reg plate), which needs 4.6l of oil and I think I drained exacly the same amount (my waste oil bottle was 5l and it was quite full). The big hose went through the dip stick tube easly and the whole process was much easier and faster, than draining through the plug (replacing the oil filter was much bigger challange, but it doesn't have anything to do with the pump). All in all - I would recommend, just bear in mind that draining trough the plug (if it's possible) will help remove the sludge and other nasties, which acumulated in the sump pan. I'm not quite sure, that this pump will do exactly the same job. On the other hand, it could be used ocassionaly, for convenience with no problems at all.

Tried this for the first time having never used one before and the results are quite impressive. What I didn’t do is pump long enough and the vacuum stopped working at around 3 litres. What I did do is then drain the tank as the instructions state not to pump beyond a 6” level So as not to damage the seals. I then restarted draining and all the oil was removed. Connecting the extension pipes isn’t easy and neither is removal especially with oily hands. I used the thicker supplied pipe and it was a perfect fit for the TT. I drained off all the oil and completely filled the tank. What I don’t know now is how to wash out clean the tank and pipes after use?

This thing is way way better than I ever expected. It's so easy to use absolutely anyone can do their own oil change without so much as a drip. That's no exaggeration. Was it really so quick and so easy? I'm still flabbergasted a day later. 6 litres was extracted in less than 10 minutes from my car. I've only used it once and it's already saved me it's worth.

No luck with this TP69 not impressed. Wasted a lot of time. In brief I believe that the design of some car dip stick tubes alows air to be drawn into the TP69 suction tube. No I did not push the tube so far that it looped back up out of the oil in the sump. Yes the oil was hot. No there were no leaks in the vacuum device anywhere. The only explanation for the ' it does not work at all' that some people report, has to be that some cars for whatever reason are just not suited to this means of oil suction via the dip stick tube. The car I tried it on was a 2ltr VW Golf 2010 tdi bluemotion. I can only summise that the dip stick tube is not a simplistic as a tube with a hole in the bottom below the oil level . That somehow even with the plastic suction pipe down fully it will pull air in rather than lift oil out. After 30 min I got less than half a cup. No doubt if I can find a detailed break down of the dip stick tube and how it is engineered, the answer will become obvious. Best guess is that there is some small well at the bottom of the tube, rather than it being open ended. The suction quickly pulls the oil out of the well, quicker than it can migrate back in. Then you pull air in from the open end of the dip stick tube that the pipe is going down. Or similar. The problem being, you will not know if this (or any make) vacuum device will work on your particular car until you try it. The idea is sound, but they should mention that this device will not necessarliy work on some vehicles and list the ones know to have this problem. On simple small engines or marine engines it will probably always work.

I'd been thinking about purchasing one of these for a number of years. Jacking up the car and scrambling around under my Mini was a pain. This thing is AMAZING! Fully removed all 4.25 litre's of old oil from the sump of my 2013 R56 JCW Mini. No fuss, no mess.....wonderful. 100% recommended.

I've tried one of the electric pumps, and ended up throwing it away. Worried that I was going to be throwing good money after bad, I tried this item. It works fantastically. The oil is out in about ten minutes at the most, and I can tell from the volume that there isn't much left in the sump.

Sealey TP69 Vakuumpumpe ist mangelhaft , die Flüssigkeit tropft von unten ab somit ist die Pumpe undicht, Amazon hat sehr schnell eine neue Pumpe versenden,leider war auch die zweite Pumpe mit der gleichen Fehler. von mir keine Kaufempfehlung !

Escelente producto, bien construido y se ve durable. Hice el cambio de aceite de un coche que lleva 8 litros y lo extrajo todo en 20 minutos. Muy práctico .

Facilidad de uso.
