Renault Pin Extractor 2 55l
Eilal Pichardo
I need to change the oil on my car but can't really afford a service. I was thinking of using one of those extractor pumps instead of draining the oil the traditional way. Will this be a good enough substitute?
Been using one for more than a decade for an interim oil change between services. Clearly the oil in the filter is not in scope although if you push it right down to the core of the sump you willl get nearly all of it out.
I have a vacuum one, it looks like a massive vacu vin wine saver if you are familiar with those. Like other poster say, they are a dream to use. Stick it in the dipstick tube and it sucks the oil out in a short time. I've changed my oil this way whenever the service light comes on. From 100k when I bought it through to 220k now. It hasn't suffered an oil related failure in that time. Call that 9 oil changes for around 30 I paid for the extractor. 9 services at a garage could cost 1000+
I tried one, but it took so long to suck the stuff out, even when warm, I reverted to dropping the sump plug. I know some claim they don't remove all the oil and sludge. Any method will leave some oil behind and if you've got sludge in the sump, then you've got problems (or a very old car).
As an example my 1997 petrol Mondeo Zetec-e with 262,000 miles on the clock takes 9 minutes to get 4.05 litres out. The full capacity is 4.25 with the remaining oil in the filter of course that cannot be got with this method. Including the time to pour in the just over 4 litres of fresh oil it takes around 10 minutes from start to finish. The extractor cost 30 over a decade past and is still working fine. Some vehicles may pose additional challenges but dumping that amount of oil in 10 mins I find very useful.
If its the hassle of draining, invest in a Fumoto quick drain valve, once fitted every time you go to change the oil in future it's completely mess free, all you need is to slip the can underneath and turn the valve open and the oil will flow out at a sensible rate, you really could change the oil in your suit from then on.
Back in the days when I did my own servicing (mainly to save cash) I recall it was usually advised to replace the oil filter at the same time. Have times changed or was I simply wasting money on new filters?
I have changed oil and filter on quite a few cars over several decades, but have been balked recently by the inaccessibility of sump plugs on 21st-century cars - I leave those to places with a car hoist.
Been using the 15 Lidle one for a couple of years now and find it great. On my VW there is a large under tray that needs to come off to get to the sump plug and it has around a dozen fixings of various types. I find the pump gets 3.5 of the 3.8 L of oil but as I change the oil more frequently than recommended Im not bothered about that. I did find that I could get a larger diameter pipe down the dipstick hole and that speeds up the process a good bit. Ten minute job in total.
Instructions said to warm the engine but not to use it with a hot engine so the first time I used it (on a warm summers day) I drove towards town, round the first roundabout and back home, probably a mile. Tried sucking the oil out and it did nothing, very disappointed. So back in the car drive to the M1 and back, probably 6 miles and try again, perfect.
Having spent a long time in the marine engineering industry, extracting engine lube oil via the dipstick tube, or on some engines via a pump-out pipe that is usually a banjo fitting threaded into where the sump plug is fitted on the industrial version of the engine is completely normal, and doesn't cause any problems. Any old oil remaining in the sump, pipes, and oil galleries is just diluted by the fresh oil.
A modern solution to the understandable aversion to removing the sump plug on a vehicle - hot oil running down your arm etc- can be avoided by using a drain valve fitting in the sump plug hole - there are many types and manufacturers, here's just one:-
And after previously reading comments on here I thought Toyota and Honda were far to diligent to miss any opportunity to ensure their vehicles are tip top and according to some repair them FOC even after 15 years.
The hydraulic ball joint extractor BEU110 is a really amazing tool. It comes as standard with two different adapters (TD40 and TD50), which makes the tool well prepared for different jobs. In this configuration the tool will fit, where working space allows; Scania, Volvo, MAN, Mercedes, Renault, Iveco and DAF trucks and in most cases also buses from the same manufacturers.
In order to cover other types and sizes of ball joints, the tool can easily be upgraded by adding more adapters - no need to have different tools for different jobs. The TD75 adapter is one to consider adding to your kit.
Besides that, the BEU110 ball joint extractor has the same outstanding qualities as the BE57 - but with more power. Due to the use of hydraulic force, the BEU110 has a substantially longer service life than comparable mechanical tools. We strongly advise to use the tool together with a hydraulic pump from REHOBOT. Hydraulic pumps from REHOBOT are always equipped with a safety valve, the tool assembly is therefore protected from overload.

The aim of this article was to evaluate the influence of the column design of a hydrostatic support-free liquid-liquid chromatography device on the process efficiency when the strong ion-exchange (SIX) development mode is used. The purification of p-hydroxybenzylglucosinolate (sinalbin) from a crude aqueous extract of white mustard seeds (Sinapis alba L.) was achieved on two types of devices: a centrifugal partition chromatograph (CPC) and a centrifugal partition extractor (CPE). They differ in the number, volume and geometry of their partition cells. The SIX-CPE process was evaluated in terms of productivity and sinalbin purification capability as compared to previously optimized SIX-CPC protocols that were carried out on columns of 200 mL and 5700 mL inner volume, respectively. The objective was to determine whether the decrease in partition cell number, the increase in their volume and the use of a "twin cell" design would induce a significant increase in productivity by applying higher mobile phase flow rate while maintaining a constant separation quality. 4.6g of sinalbin (92% recovery) were isolated from 25 g of a crude white mustard seed extract, in only 32 min and with a purity of 94.7%, thus corresponding to a productivity of 28 g per hour and per liter of column volume (g/h/LV(c)). Therefore, the SIX-CPE process demonstrates promising industrial technology transfer perspectives for the large-scale isolation of ionized natural products.
