I'm wanting to do an interim oil change but where I am now is pretty difficult, not exactly easy to jack it up etc. and I don't fancy paying someone to do it...
I've looked online about these vacuum pumps (particuarly the Pela 6000) which suck the oil out through the dipsitck hole. Some other forums say that they're pretty good and it's the only way to change oil on a Smart car.
Has anyone had any experience with these on a 206?

Yeah some cars don't have sump plugs, so using a pump is the easy way out of it, however I wouldn't do it as you will never get all the oil out with a pump.

I was only planning on using it for an interim oil change, I usually do a main one in my GF's dad's workshop (he has a pit) in the spring. Some people reckon they can get 4l out of their sump which has a total capacity of 4.2l, which I don't think is too bad.

Can't you reach your sump plug with the car on the ground?
