Addicted CEG'er
So I was a little skeptical about purchasing anything made by Spectre, but for $15.95 ($45.95 - $30 discount with Amazon.com Visa card) I gave it a shot.
First impressions...
Well the kit looks fairly decent compared to other kits I've seen in the past first hand. The supplied lines are good enough for what they need to be being rated for 300psi. The adaptors are color coded for what thread they are so as they are easily identifiable without trial and error. What I'm not impressed with is the adaptors preassembled with the barb fittings :nonono:. They over applied the teflon tape on all of the fittings in the adaptors. So much so that it was dangling inside the adaptor as if they started wrapping the fitting before the threads started. Not a huge deal as I am removing them anyway to install NPT to ORF adaptor fittings. The electric pump looks cheap as if it will break after about a years use. Personally I'm not entirely sold on the idea of pumping out the oil from the engine to change it, but I may try it a few times to see how I like it. Either way I still plan on doing a manual oil change every third time just to ensure that any built up gunk in the oil pan finds its way out.
And with that here are the pictures.
