Can anybody recommend a particular Pela type pump?
Saw this at half the price of the Pela one. Any good?

Eh? Is this true? Nothing on the Aldi website today.
Was in on Tue. Castol 10-40 GTX 1L at £3.99. Photo on the Aldi thread. Picked up 2 bottles but there was about 20 there.When home figured it could be cheap stock for a couple of oil changes so hopefully will get some more today.
Ordered the Pela 6000. Cheapest was on ebay and through TCB, plus purchase on the Costco cashback Amex card

Should work out about £36.

Used this for the first time after disaster No1 that the 120i doesnt have a disptick! So tried it on the 535d today. Definitely hit the bottom of the sump (I thought) when the pipe went in and hit a definite end stop. Could hear it finishing the job as it was sucking air after 15 mins and clean unused canister seemed pretty full - few more pumps and a pipe re-seat and yes only sucking air. Disconnected and filled car up with lovely new oil and a new filter. Then empty device and find it only managed to get half the actual sump capacity out. Ever so slightly exceedingly annoyed!
Did I do anything wrong or is the cars dipstick routing just unsuitable for this kind of device? I am bl00dy fuming as it wasted a lot of new oil and time.

Mine is at the bottom. Prob had 200ml of oil tops left when removing the filter.
What are your thoughts on filter life?
I know most folk always say change the filter every time but I figure it's not actually contaminated, it is simply a filter. If you change oil regularly it's doing less work too so surely it's life will increase.
I would usually change filter but if for whatever reason I didn't have one at the time, I'd happy do an oil change without replacing it.
Note I am talking about additional oil changes well over the requirements of basic servicing.
