Automotive maintenance kit designed to extract engine and diesel oil quickly and cleanly. For hands-on motorists who want to avoid messy pours and garage visits, the process becomes less stressful and more practical. Is the flintronic Oil Change Pump a sensible addition to a DIY toolkit?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Suction Power: 12V, 80W motor drawing about 5A, delivering roughly 1L per minute for warm motor oil
- • Best for: Car, motorcycle, scooter, marine and small machinery owners who perform routine oil changes
- • Not ideal for: Pumping gasoline, alcohol, water, gearbox fluids or other easily flammable liquids
Electric, battery-clamp powered extractor pumps motor and diesel oil at approximately 1L per minute for oil around 40–60°C. Includes inlet and outlet hoses with specific diameters and an overload protection switch for safer operation.
Faster oil changes, with an upgraded 80W motor
A DC 12V, 80W motor running at about 5A produces a flow rate of approximately 1 litre per minute for motor oil at 40–60°C, using a 4mm inner diameter inlet and a 10mm inner diameter outlet. The unit includes a 1.2m inlet hose and a 1.4m outlet hose sized for common sump and drain access.
Quicker evacuation of warm engine oil reduces time spent under the vehicle and gets servicing done without a pit or lift.
Cleaner, more controlled transfers, with dedicated inlet and outlet hoses
Separate inlet and outlet tubing minimises cross-flow, while hose lengths and diameters are chosen to reach common drain points and provide steady transfer. Power connection uses battery clamps for direct 12V feed, enabling portable use.
Less spillage and easier solo operation make oil changes neater and more manageable in a driveway or garage.
Safer operation, with an overload protection switch and clear fluid warnings
An integrated overload protection switch stops the motor if the load becomes excessive or the motor overheats, and requires re-powering after a short interval. Safety guidance explicitly forbids pumping petrol, alcohol, water, gearbox oil or other highly flammable liquids.
Reduced risk of motor damage and clearer safety boundaries help protect both the pump and the operator when used correctly.
