You cannot do what you suggest on the 2010 or earlier diesel models as there are two sump plugs and draining by the method you suggest would not drain the turbo return line sump. Also it is a good change to see if there are any leaks present when carrying out an oil change.

I think the double sump was only a thing on the TDV8 due to the turbos being placed lower in the engine bay than would be ideal. The oil return system was devised in order to ensure they drained when running at off road angles. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Iv been using 1 of those for years, still drop the sump plug every now and again just to make sure there is nothing nasty hiding in there. |

Performing all oil services to kick off the new year. Much more fun to remain standing.

I bought an electric one at Lidl for £13. It's almost too easy. |

Just changed my oil and filter today. So simple and no mess. |

I have a 6L one and when I tried it on the RRS I found the suction tube didn’t reach the bottom of the sump so I could only get about 4 and a bit litres out.
