Bob, I've used the pela pump, did a 5 min run to get oil warm parked on a flat surface, checked oil showed it to be very low. Started the pump. Eventually drained 4 litres after pumping every 30 seconds am I doing something wrong. Because I put 4 litres back in and it now looks OK.

Hi
A 5 minute run is very unlikely to have got Bongy up to running temp, the oil will be very thick and difficult to suck out with the Pela.
Also, if you checked the level imediately after running it will show very low as the oil will be up around the upper galleries.
Hope that helps.
