   not perfect, but close enough, January 31, 2011

   It’s not perfect. It takes a little longer than pulling the drain plug, but reduces the likelihood of creating a mess by a considerable amount. It’s as close to the perfect home oil change as I’ve experienced in 50+ years of working on cars. Easy to set up and clean. A big ziplock is handy for the hose, and a small one to avoid losing the gaskets, etc. Of course, you still have the filter to deal with.

   I haven’t changed my own oil in 10 years…, September 27, 2013

   But I was switching to full synthetic and didn’t want to get pinched to pay someone to do it. I’m also doing all my own boat winterization this year (which was the real reason I bought the Topsider).

   Honest to God, if it was any simpler, I’d have my kids change the oil. First, make sure you have the oil warmed to running temp in the vehicle. It flows out easily if you do this. Secondly, crack open a beer and wait while it sucks the old oil out. There will still be a little left in the filter, so make sure to have a few rags handy. Third, take it to a recycling place and empty the can. This one time purchase should save about $50 every oil change. Plus, it’s made in the USA, how cool is that? They even have replacement parts with free shipping on their website to help you keep it running smoothly. I highly recommend picking one up.

   This thing works SLICK!, August 5, 2014

   We purchased this after much research for changing the oil on our BMW X5. It made sense because the oil filter is located on the top. It assembled easily after following the directions.
   Wife warmed up the car with my daughter (they went to get ice cream and didnt tell us) When they got back, we removed the dipstick, pumped it up and inserted. After loosening the clamp, the oil flowed like crazy right into the can. We had to pump it again because we kept pulling the tube out to see if it was still working.
   While it was draining, I changed the oil filter. Just about that time, it started slurping like somebody finishing a milkshake..
   My dad arrived and had his doubts. We inserted the dipstick and pulled it out. Came back bone dry.
   We filled it with 8 quarts and packed up.
   Job done.
   took about 10 minutes to drain the warm oil.
   As my son said:
   » This thing works slick!»
   Pun intended!
