Testing Ultimate Speed 12V Oil Pump from Lidl - UOP 12 C1

[@miroslav-kalapov]

I have been using this pump the last 3-4 oil changes and it works very well. It pulls about 4800ml out of 5l oil. Also I don't know why you want to clean the tubes afterwards - you aren't going to be drinking from them :). I just leave them be in the box until the next year's oil change. I think there were caps to put on so the remains don't spill. Tip 1 - don't put the tube all the way in because it will hit the bottom of the sump and clog itself at that point. Tip 2 - open the oil cap so that air can get in while pulling oil out. Without this you are creating a vacuum and the pump works against that vacuum. Tip 3 - do this on a warm engine - the oil is thinner and get's out easier. Tip 4 - there's more oil in the oil filter.. maybe 100-200ml more.

[@icku]

Tip 2 - Guys, please stop it! Educate yourself! Engine oil systems aren't hermetic!!! All internal combustion engines have oil breathers! On the other tips I do agree.

[@miroslav-kalapov]

@@icku wasn't aware of that but I noticed the pump starts to suck considerably more oil when I removed the cap. Yeah it's not hermetic like the cooling system but I guess this breather has much less flow capacity than the pump is trying to suck out.

[@icku]

@@JunkBondTrader Instead of writing bullshits why didn't you write those several mistakes. I'm sick and tired of people so dumb they enter their cars from the trunk. That pump has been tested by me on so many cars you can barely count that much. Its not capable of sucking all the oil - comma. So don't write your bullshits on my channel!

@@icku Is not hermetic but when you remove the oil cap the the amount of air that comes in is way bigger and the process become really fast , every quick oilshop change do this for decades.

[@fp274]

i cut a thin long tube from an old refrigerator, and adapted it on the plastic tube, the shorter the pipes are the faster the pump draws oil (the thin plastic tube coils up in the engine and does not suck all of the oil)

[@timhiggins6212]

If you had put the container on the ground the pump would have pumped it easier, the higher the contained the more difficult it is to pump against the head of liquid. I would also guess the you pushed too much tube in and it curled back up from the sump.

[@bottletree33]

Spot on Tim.

[@imraff]

"you pushed too much tube in and it curled back up from the sump." 100%, you can even see it @1:30 in the video. The tube hits the bottom and he forces it through, causing it to curl back up. If anyone else thinks they might have done this, slowly pull the tube out with the pump on. It'll keep draining as the tip of the tube unrolls lower into the sump.

[@Nobody-im9yk]

Sure, its better to change the oil underneath the engine, but you need a ramp or a safe jack to lift the car. This is easy and fast. Just be sure the oil is not cold. As it written on the pump manual, oil should be 60°c

[@davidbatley9386]

Got one last year but I use it for bleeding brakes. Better than the pressure bleeding one man kits I've mounted it in a small plastic toolbox with a 7AH SLA and waste collection bottle for the old fluid. Nice easy clean way to do a change or remove air.

Hi David, is it possible to remove bubbles from master clutch and slave cylinders with this?

[@jacan3]

You put the tube way to much in. The tube probably made a little wrap in the reservoir. Let the pump running while getting the tube slowly out, to find the sweetspot.

[@paulcarroll5710]

I just tried mine for the first time and it got pretty much all of the oil out. My drive is on a slope so all of the oil gathers towards the dipstick end of the sump which really helps..

[@robertacanning1977]

Did you warm the oil beforehand Your supposed to have a 5 min drivearound to get the oil to 40-60 degrees to thin the oil down also a few mistakes you raised the bottle above bonnet instead of on the ground and you never took the oil cap off not allowing built up pressure out.

[@icku]

Judging by the "oil cap...pressure out" nonsense im pretty sure you have no idea that cars have crankcase ventilation system - meaning the oil system is not hermetized. You do not need to open the oil cap in order to drain the oil. You might even suggest to dig a hole in the ground to lower the bottle beneath the oil pan :D

[@robertacanning1977]

@@ickucause they build pressure up , the pressure will try and find a way out through the gaskets and seals if that fails it causes oil leaks hence oil leaks that will lead to costly repairs. Where on earth do you think oil tanks don't build up pressure. Hence take cap off whilst filling as the tube only fits down the dipstick tube so that alone will block Airways if the filler cap is left on. You need to stop reading Wikipedia lol.

[@ВалерийВалериевич-й6г]

@@icku And judging by your words, you are a very bad specialist. Because you don't know what a check valve is! And yes, opening the lid relieves pressure. Don't give more advice.

[@imraff]

@@icku So on top of being a racist, you're a moron. PCV is not an open valve that just let's air in and out of your crankcase (the fact you thought that's how it works should really disqualify you to make any videos related to cars, you genuinely think Opel wants dirt and debris in your oil sump? Jesus christ the confidence of some idiots is astounding...) it's a one way valve that vents POSITIVE pressure, it's in the bloody name "Positive Crankcase Ventilation". NEGATIVE pressure (pulling a vacuum) is a DESIRED feature when operation your oil pump normally, but you have to take it into account when changing the oil and allow air into the system to replace the oil. So to sum this video up, you; a) did not follow instructions to preheat your engine before using the oil pump. b) Shoved too much tube into the oil sump, causing your tube to end above the lowest possible level, hence why you got more out from the plug afterwards. c) Placed your vessel ABOVE the pump and the level of the liquid, displaying an understanding of fluid dynamics that would make a 10 year old shake their head in dismay d) Do not understand how to safely and efficiently drain an oil system, then have the gall to get pissy and racist when people point out your mistakes, using words you clearly don't understand. So, @AllHandMade please keep your "advices" only to wood working and maybe even then, keep your "advices" off of youtube, moron.

[@kevinmarsh5034]

Did you check the oil level before you started so you know how much oil should come out? I have also noticed a problem with my pump, sometimes the oil pipe rises out of the dipstick tube. Worth checking, I find my pump very reliable and mainly use it for gearbox and axle oil changes which have no drain plugs.

[@us3804]

Normally cold oil is very thick and hard to suck. Did you work ur car for 5-10min be4 sucking it?

[@chrisbailey5633]

I bought one for the differentials and transmission/case. First time it didn't work at all with a 12v maplin transformer. Tried it on a 12v car battery and ot did. Managed to do the transfer case, was bit slow but ok. Went onto transmission but for some reason struggled getting the larger tube in the fill hole, so decided to change the pipes around using the thinner pipe as out. That's when it all started going wrong, the pump couldnt cope with the extra pressure and just died on me. So was left under the vechicle with pipes full of oil, pulling them off made a spray on the driveway, then the bottle fell over and made a great big stain on the drive, then the wind blew up and made it even worse. In the end I threw the wretched pump down in anger and resorted to my flowjet 12v pump. Again the tubes got pressurised and came off pumping oil all over the drive. Things I learnt were, do not buy cheap pumps and DO NOT use a thinner tube for the OUT than on the IN.

I bought my already opened but it dosent runing. It is possible that previus buyer switch the + and - ? Thanks.

[@trukomf1nn162]

​ - What about releasing the filter? Would it help?

[@Fd20y]

Filter should be off or loosened and dipstick out as well as oil cap off

[@sekla86]

@allhandmade, when you drained the rest of oil from the bottom, was the pressure much less than when it was full? My biggest worry is to catch the stream in the pan without making mess on my driveway ;) so if 1l left means much less pressure that full 5l, this pump will still be very useful for me :)

[@icku]

My oil pan plug has central opening in it - so in either ways it doesn't make a mess. Probably you should buy such. Just google z19dth oil pan plug to see what i mean,

[@VictorYarema]

Awesome video dude! Thanks for sharing such an experience with us. I understand your partial disappointment about the fact that it doesn't suck all the oil. But c'mon. It is a less than 20 Eur thing. As for me it is fine if I will need to a small follow up from under the car. It would still be less messy underneath. At least I hope so. Didn't try yet though.

Thanks! I was thinking about buying one of these today. I'm undecided, as similarly I can't change the oil filter on my own without a mechanic. You can do it, but I don't trust myself to work on the underbody safely and might mess it up. Think I might let the big boys do it for me

Oil is a simple DIY change trust me. Find where your filter is, take that off before draining the oil, but some castrol oil for £30 you can do the whole change for about £40 A garage costs 100+

Better to use the fill opening than the dip stick tube. On many newer cars it doesnt reach the bottom of the sump.

[@skblack5050]

I've watched several videos on these oil extractors, No one seems to know how much oil is in their car? The used oil goes into things with out knowing how much came out. If the engine holds 5 quarts and you draw out four. That means you add 4 clean quarts of oil to one quart of dirty oil. The results is 5 quarts of dirty oil. Plus. The oil that they draw out is black which says to me that it's been long past due to change. SO.. so far these videos are meant for 10 year old kids that know nothing about cars.

[@markbro4427]

I know mine takes 4.8 litres.....I pumped the old oil into 2 litre milk containers and filled two plus one just over half full so I guess there's approx 200 ml left....As i change my oil every 4000-4500 it doesn't worry me too much. I'll maybe use the pump every other change, tbh I was being lazy as pulling the plug on my SUV isn't too difficult.

Why not through the huge hole where you normally put the oil in? Why not buy a smaller rubber/silicon hose and an adapter for the oil pump, available at every hardware store? If this is the kind of problem solving skills you display, maybe just take your care to a professional.

[@ottofumbler7267]

@@imraff Great questions. Try this yourself and report back your findings. Let me guess what will happen. 1. The "huge hole", normally called the oil filler, doesn't reach the oil sump without restrictions, so you wouldn't catch all the old oil. 2. A thinner tube from your standard hardware store wouldn't be sufficiently rigid, and would close in on itself upon applying suction. Looking forward to your follow up genius ideas. The internet was invented for little Einsteins like you. I'm embarrassed for you.
