Let you know when it turns up, got me a vec b 2.2dti and a vec c 1.9 to change the oil on. Pity it cant change the filter for me though lol

Unless you will do a lot of oil changes (ie garage) then what is the point in these devices? Removing the drain plug isn't exactly hard and will probably get more of the old oil out too..

ste thanks for your input mate
i aim to 2 oil changes a year and was thinking doing 1 with this and the other 1 a full clean change so i dont think there will be a big problems

.......

dose the vectra have a horizontal baffle in the sump as i been told that when it wont work very well

TBH i doubt a garage would use these mate, they do take their time TBH and as we know time is money. I use them at work for gearbox's etc that are in awkward place's (over reservoir's etc) and they do work well so as said for £20 buy one mate
