Oil extraction with Pela vacuum pump
Hi,
Some months ago I added the dipstick mod to my XC60 D4 AWD, 2017 model (old shape), all good and I can check the oil the way I like to. Today I managed to extract 5.7 litres of engine oil through said dipstick tube using a Pela 6000 vacuum pump - which is designed specifically for this purpose. I was well chuffed as this now allows me to do additional/intermediate oil changes myself - with the dealer changing the filter with the scheduled change. The only comment I’d add if you want to do this is to ensure that the engine is hot, this makes the oil flow and really helps with the vacuum pump - which struggles with “cold” oil. Hope this helps someone. Cheers - Rob |

Its good to hear that the extraction method works for the mid year/additional changes. I was considering it as i like to do the mid year myself but just have the time to drag all my gear out the shed every time. Obviously the garage does the proper main service annually.
Was this through the small grey dipstick?

The Pela 6000 pump costs about £45 |

I've used a Pela 6000 to remove the engine oil from the inboard engines in my boats for what must be over 15 years now; never a problem; the sump plug on boat engines is basically impossible to remove without removing the engines !
The dipstick tube has a factory fitted BSP threaded adaptor on the end and the tube extends to very near the bottom of the sump (the adaptor is designed for attaching a hand operated extraction pump). Rather than pushing the Pela thin tube down into the sump, I made an adaptor to attach the Pela directly to the dipstick tube; that way, the whole bore is used and extraction is very quick if the oil is hot. Pushing the thin pipe down at the end draws out very little extra oil. |

For the price of a new oil filter and accessibility of its location is it not worth changing the filter at the same time as these intermediary oil changes?
