I have the Scavenger System (bought it several years ago - used on ebay for about 1/2 the cost). I may use it once a year or every other year. It definitely gets the "dirty oil" out.

Needed - no Used when spare time is available - like now.

Neighbor borrows it occassionally as well.

Yes, with a quart or contaminated oil left inside, it sure would.

I think the idea is, if the scavenged or near completed emptied one is 4 quarts and the regular oil change removes and replaces 3.5, then one half quart remains in the motor. I think the idea has merit, but I'm not sure it's enough to worry about.

all in all it works as advertised just be sure you tighten the puck up enough or a mess will result, my bad but it still worked oil is clean all through the motor
was worried because I have a JEGS oil cooler setup on my bike but that shouldn't be a problem,
so all i can say is a non mechanic like me can do it,anyone can!!!

For me, the gasket for the puck doesn't like to stay seated when putting it on - I gotta watch it closely!
