Nige Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Nope, I like to see it dump out of the sump. Middle of Lidl have them at the moment. Can't imagine you need anything fancy unless you plan to oil change on a weekly basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatsix777 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I bought this one recently. It seems to work well; so far I’ve used It take the oil out my XKR (sump not easily accessible) using the cars suction pipe and, with the hoses the other way around, fill the transmission with ATF. This worked great as the exhaust prevents a manual fill and you have to get 10 litres in sharpish before the fluid exceeds the max temperature for setting the level.

Leicestershire Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Have a quick look on a SMART Car forum. They don’t have drain plugs and experience reliability problems resulting from poor oil changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mean in green Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 Thanks all, I did have a quick look around at some examples in use, variable results indeed, some suggestions of swapping the pick up hose for a rigid tube. Appreciate the replies and to clarify: am interested for purposes other than those involving a Porsche! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy M Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I've got one of these https://marinestore.co.uk/pela-6000-spherical-oil-extractor-sump-pump-6-litre-pela6.html Works really well (used to have a Smart when we had the motorhome). I've used it for extracting hydraulic oil from a trailer circuit and little things like that but never on the 911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Seally ones work as well, good selection of tubes come with it. Saves a good bit of time and no need to take under body protection off. Few cars now without sump plugs. Baz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Von Twinzig Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 What about Jevvy’s, world famous oil bong? 🤔 VT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
