..... I can tell my experience ..., on the Grand Cherokee 3.0 diesel removing the cap discharging 9.5 liters of oil .... with the pump come out 9.7 liters .... tried several times. .... in my boat engines sucking with the pump does not remain in the sump any oil ... any metal residues remain on...

@Grim Reaper Thank you I've done this today ! Finally plucked up the courage !

Agreed - some of the quotes on here are ridiculous for what is actually a fairly simple job to do. Very good access once the air cleaner box has been removed. If you turned up at a VW dealer with your T6 on the back of a flatbed after the valves and pistons had been smacking seven shades of $~@$...

My engine has been good as gold until this drama. It's all back together and running nicely at the moment. I'd lose too much money selling. It's a tatty 4wd kombi. I use my vehicles. That's why i bought it but i have been particularly nice to the engine. No abuse there. The original guy was...

@Pauly sorry, I thought the one pictured by @Willoughby had access to the sump drain plug. I had seen this link and the unit here has no sump access and the plate has to be removed completely to drain the sump.

Have you ever worked with oil samples, the more info you want the more specialist and this more expensive, also as bearings wear the metals change, typically a crank bearing will show lead, copper and then steel as it wears. If you see steel you probably won’t see much lead as it would have been...

Im looking at one of these.....ToolStation sell them. Draper Expert Manual / Pneumatic Oil Extractor what / how did you use/make the extension suction tube? got any pics?

It's a strange one as once you start to pressurise the intake system the EGR has to close otherwise all of the compressed air from the turbo is sent backwards through the EGR system into the exhaust so you'd think that under load there would be no combustion temperature issues with a blanked EGR...

Nice write up. Interesting that you used 0w-30 oil. I've often seen the spec quote as 5w-30 but then when my van was serviced by the dealer they used 0w-30. Just wondering what led you to choose 0w-30?

I get the bulk out with an oil extractor for cleanliness (most drain containers are only about 5 litres too) and then get the last 1/4 litre or so out from the sump plug. A new plug is less than £2 and just torque it up to 30Nm and all is good. I'm replacing the filter from underneath anyway so...

Changed my engine oil & filter yesterday. Sequence (follow this entirely at your own risk....): - Remove undertray - 6 bolts, 13mm socket. - Drive van to get oil up to temp. - Release oil filler cap. - Remove sump drain plug - 19mm socket - leave oil draining. - Remove oil filter drain - centre...

This needs putting in a how too section, thanks YellowHound

I was just looking at the instructions for the oil and filter change. Mine's a 150 manual.....not sure of engine code. I'll be doing mine at 10,000 miles as I too will probably have mine a long time.....certainly 5 years. Anyway, I noticed that you have to remove the oil filter BEFORE draining...

I've done numerous oil changes in the past.......but buggar me........I can't for the life in me, find the oil filter housing! I think they forgot to put one in mine (150 eu6)! Mrs MD would say I was having a man look! I also can't believe I have to remove a giant under tray to get to the...

@xpfloyd I think you'll agree that fitting can be DIY but manufacture is best left to the profis, especially if you want access to the sump plug without removing the whole protective plate.

Just changed oil on my van. Failed to find oil filter (i really miss my 2k caddy for ease of access). So decided to change oil only (it is a first change- i have done 9k km in 2 months - originally planned to change it even earlier but was too busy). Luckily i had 2x4l and 3x 1l bottles of oil...

First class YellowHound! Two (more!) questions........when removing the oil filter drain plug and oil filter cap, did you have to unclip anything or snip any cable ties.....or could any pipes/wires etc just be moved out of the way? Is the oil filter drain plug undone with a socket or allen key...

now this is what i thought but it looked "upside down" for me. Is it much spillage to replace it without touching anything else? ( i have replaced oil already). is there a plastic sump on this picture? or is it that 8 bolt cover people are on about? (my van had no covers) am i for some nasty...

You see, now that's where I disagree with how things are done, if this is true. Back in my mechanic days this method was frowned upon. It was seen as a last resort if there was no other way, or a bodgy method for those that were just plain lazy. I don't know if things have moved on, but...

Sounds like another ridiculous time cutting exercise to me if this is true. Yeah, oils are much better in quality, and engines rarely wear out like they used to, but there's a certain satisfaction in leaving a sump plug out on a ramp for several hours whilst you do the rest of the service work...
