Don't waste any money on this one:

It's a POS.


Read some of the reviews.

************

I went through three of those pumps in 10 years, getting about a dozen
oil changes per pump before each had to be scrapped.

It's a very good value, on a per-change basis.

I checked the reviews, they are way too harsh on this thing.
I put one in of my own, probably raising the rating from 1.0 to 1.25
stars. :-)

It's a BIC lighter. Use it up, throw it out, and get another one for
almost nothing.

Have you ever actually used one, JohnH- or are you just predisposed to
believe negative comments?

My new engine was fitted with a handy hand pump that makes oil
changing very easy. If it were not, I'd still be using these WM-BIC
12-volt pumps. If you want to spend a few hundred bucks or so, install
a dedicated oil change pump and do it right...among the cheap suckers,
this little 12-volt pump beats the suction can and the cheapie hand
pump (plastic barrel?) in my experience.
