Electric oil pump?
My Mitivac 7201 is now leaking so I'm looking for another alternative and thought about getting an electric pump instead. I found on Amazon. You guys have any other recommendation?

For $27 you don't have much to loose. I wonder whether you achieve 3 litres /min through the dipstick tube?
Be careful of igniting petrol fumes when using the electric motor. It is probably not flameproof.
Will it be easy to connect up?
Be a ground breaker & report back !!

Sure beats spending another $80+ on a new Mitivac.

Finally got around to using this. It took about 20 minutes to drain 9 quarts of oil out of my engine. Waited exactly 1 hour after I got home from driving doing all my errands to cool the car. Oil was still very warm and almost hot which sped up the suction time. I used my Mitivac to make sure I was draining about 8.5 liter (9 quarts). Very easy to set up and it did not drain my battery. I didn't check exact voltage but the car started after I was done. So definitely a must buy. So much easier than that damn Mitivac.

At 68 years I still enjoy changing the oil by draining mainly because I can have a good look around at everything else down there whilst I am at it.
Thanks for the feed back. Wish everyone on this site was as diligent.
