Review on πŸ”§ Efficient and Practical Pela PL-6000 6 Liters Oil Extractor for Easy Oil Changes by David Berry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I love this unit.

I handle all family car oil changes so you know my level of experience. This unit was purchased for an oil change on our three cylinder Yanmar 30 sailboat which I change to hot after a long cruise. Yesterday was the second time I used the extractor. I calculated the device in such a way that it is possible to take and keep more than five liters. I need to install in the middle of the galley so my biggest challenge was a tidy system. This device meets all my needs and has a few additional benefits. Caps and a spout are included so I didn't lose a drop. Once disassembled, the entire block and a couple of funnels fit easily into a 5 gallon bucket with a lid (you'll have to disassemble the block to assemble it, but be careful when unscrewing the pump knob, it can break if it's loose). is screwed on). This is important to me as I don't have to try to get every last drop out of the unit before stowing it on the boat if there is remnant of spills in the bucket, which is unlikely. The construction of the device is thick plastic, and while it looks pretty solid, I'm sure you'll break something if you press on it.

Pros
  • Decent performance
