NO problems with these units.

 

What good is changing the oil with the pump if you can't/don't change the filter?

Just go to JiffyLube or Firestone.

 

thanks for all the responses. Of course i would change the filter too, we can do so from the top on our cherokees. btw, wal mart sells the official mopar oil filter for like 6 bucks.

I wasn't looking at the crappy electric units, more the mighty vac Mv7201 or the pela 6000.

My gf has a dodge stratus (i know they are terrible) and i would be doing the fluid changes on her ride with the vac as well. Thats a big plus for her car bc that damn thing sits right on the ground.

Anyone ever use one of these units?

 

Technically it will work for changing the fluid but like the others said there's a reason these things have drain plugs. You need to get the crap out of the bottom of the pans and clean the metal shavings off of the magnet in the drain plug.
