Has any tried this

A site has a Top Sider Oil Changer. This is the description: Do an oil change in less than 5 minutes without lifting your car or crawling around on the ground! The BMP top side oil changer is so simple you'll wonder why it wasn't available sooner. With a few strokes of the high volume vacuum pump you'll build up a vacuum in the storage canister. Insert the suction tube into the cars dip-stick tube, release the check valve. The top side oil changer will remove all of the oil from your engine. No more oil slicks in your driveway! Large 8 quart capacity will handle most cars.


Is this any good for $50.00?????

Some of the Service Stations(Petrol Stations) in New Zealand will do oil changes on your car in this manner. You can have the oil changed while filling the car up with gas. It must work, but I'm not keen on the idea. Firstly does it remove any sludge or foreign bits floating around in the bottom of the sump? Also if you need to change the oil filter, it doesn't really help that much.

Just my thoughts,

There's a great deal of these businesses here in the states to change your oil in 5-10 minutes, though I hadn't noticed home type equipment for sale.

I never do this, because I am concerned that this method does not extract all your used oil from the oil pan, and junk may accumulate in the bottom. You just can't beat draining oil from the pan, no matter how annoying it is to get it done this way.
