Decent but not greatJuly 21, 2008 Jeff(New York) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This worked fairly well but did not drain all 5 quarts of oil (maybe 3 1/2 or so). Not a big deal on the boat as I don't use it that much so when I do a yearly change the oil is generally still clean. I wouldn't use it on a car as it is better to get all of the oil out when driven until it is dirty. I took at least a half hour to remove the oil I did get out of the engine and I kept turning it on and shutting it off so it would start up with good suction again. It is nice to be able to do a change at home and not pay the $85 per hour marina labor fees. I would recommend this unit for that convenience but there may be other models out there to research that work a little better.
