Is this as good as draining oil out from the bottom of engine? Will the engine be affected adversely if oil change is carried out with this system?

Yes, it does the same thing as pulling the drain plug from the oil pan under the car. Will the engine be affected adversely if an oil change is carried out with this system? Heck no unless, you forget to replace the oil you sucked out with new oil!

I don't know if your question relates to this product or not, but I would never pour anything, other than the recommended viscosity oil and coolant, that is made by some company. These aftermarket treatments might not damage your engine but its emission system will get out of whack.

I used this last summer and have not seen any ill effects at all. I believe this works by modifying the friction properties of the fluid rather than by softening the seals.

Heating element is buried into the bottom and well... the oil should only be drained when the oil has cooled... so if the oil is hot of course your drain hose will be hot.

I used mine to drain the gear oil out of my rear axle. It was a little slow due to the weight of the oil but it worked just fine.

Nah, I uses it every oil change, which for my car is 12K miles (synthetic oil). Or if I notice my car is sluggish and the MPGs drop.

This isn't a good purchase for a low idling engine. This isn't water sealed in any way. If you can seal the engine compartment from water, go for it.

No there is no drain plug, but you would have to fill it almost to the top to have any oil leak out. The normal oil change is about 5 quarts, and that won't get that high.

Yes. I just changed my oil yesterday and they work as designed. Easy to remove as well as reinstall.

The heating element is in the cord. I did not drain oil until it cooled but dont believe you would have a problem with it.

I prefer to add it a few hundred miles before the next oil change, because as it cleans the gunk out of the engine, the filter removes the gunk and the filter becomes full. If you use with fresh oil change, you will need to change the filter after a few hundred mile, to insure your filter system works correctly. You can add it to your gas any time, preferably often to keep your upper end lubricated and the fuel system, including injectors, clean. Excellent product from my experience.

Should be just fine with an oil injection pump. There is no ratio to worry about since your not pre-mixing it with gasoline.

depends on your engine size. use the longer filter for bigger engines the shorter of the two wont circulate enough oil when under pressure

I used it while it was full of oil. That should not make a difference. The saver only flushes the water out of the pump.

The valve stays on the engine replacing the drain plug. It allows for easy draining of the oil at change time. The clear flexible tube should be pulled off after draining the oil and the dust cover attached should be snapped over the end of the valve to keep dirt out. Don't forget to refill the oil.

If you are adding charge to a low system, you would do it the same as any other brand. If you are doing a complete job, do it the same way you would any other brand. It doesnt have oil like the other brands, use your own judgment as to whether it needs more.

I used it on my 95 Honda civic engine. It broke up the grime and grease and didn't harm anything. It worked pretty good.
