    Does anyone know where I could get a pump for removing used engine oil through the dipstick of filler?

    I believe there are many new cars that don't even have a sump plug these days.

    Thanks.

    They are about €100 for them. They apperently clean out more oil then using the plug underneath and are much easier to use...

    Do they create a vaccuum or somethin....I can't for the life of me figure out how such a device would work? Is it basically a tube that goes down through ur engine to the bottom of the sump and sucks out all the oil? I can't see that being as effective as the old fashioned way of a plug & just allowing gravity do it's thing??? Anyone care to explain
