Comments about Smith Smith Oil Changer:

This is the typical stereotype "Made in China" product (it is). Loud and clunky, the hoses leak and it didn't last even one oil change before simply stopping to pump. Its motor keeps grinding away, but no oil is pumped! Pure JUNK.

A plastic fitting on one of the lines cracked after one use and started spilling oil; I went to the hardware store and bought metal fittings and rubber hoses to replace the hoses that came with it.

Comments about Smith Smith Oil Changer:

This oil pump represented great value for money in my humble opinion. Well presented and put together it quickly completed the job once the intake tube was primed with oil. I drained 10 liters of diesel oil in about as many minutes. I will be using this for all my annual engine servicings.
