I've heard that some folks will add little new oil, after pumping, and then pump that out after letting it "flush" some more of the old oil down. Just to try and get more old out. As someone else said, even the drain plug method isn't going to get everything.

you should put the can and the pump on the ground to take advantage of gravity, like you would with a siphon. Your pump was having to try push that oil directly upwards. Still, even in ideal operating conditions, the drain will of course get a bit more out. You can use clean oil to dilute anything leftover and get more out with this.

Thank you for sharing. I do like how you got/found this small pump. Way more compact and easy to use than a lot of extractors I've seen out there. There was another YT channel that discussed this. (Maybe The Car Care Nut? Not sure) While yes he also had a slight difference between suction vs drain, but the difference was smaller than in your effort here. Maybe the lead-tube is different? I don't know. Regardless, one is never going to be able to drain "all the oil". There will be residual oil left in the head (valve train area) that just won't drain down. Oil is also viscous enough that there will always be some the remain stuck on vertical walls and not fully flow down to the drain hole. As long as folks are regularly changing oil & filter, that's probably the bigger impact for longevity of their car/engine. For folks that want to adopt this kind of extraction method, my suggestion is to place the old oil bottle lower - directly on the ground. This way, once the oil has filled the entire suction line, they'll get some "help" from siphoning effect, and the pump is no longer having to fight gravity.

I just bought a vacuum pump for oil change. As a DYI guy I think use a vacuum pump to suck out all the oil and drain out the remaining tiny bit oil just like this video. That is just my way of doing thing. If I do it myself, I already saving some money ,so doing some extra work no gonna waste the time or effort. Thanks for this video

This works well on the renault 1.5 diesel motor (this engine is in loads of different models including nissan & mercedes. Just be careful when pushing the pipe down the dipstick tube that you don't curle the pipe back on it's self when it reaches sump bottom, just feed it down gently and it will get every drop of old oil out

I use an extractor and never have to spill a single drop of oil on the driveway or deal with bad oil pan threads on older vehicles. Once a year I'll pull and replace 5 liters of automatic transmission fluid on my GM truck. Also its an awesome tool for changing out power steering fluid, or working on lawnmowers, boat engines, snowblowers etc.

I use both methods. I like how clean the process is with oil pump. At the end I crack the bolt and take out the rest which is very small amount. Less mess is good day for me.

Yup old school method works the best. Plus a old mechanic showed me that when your oil is almost finished draining pour in some new oil to get rid of any old oil in stuck in the oil pan. I'm always amazed to see how much dirty oil is still stuck in there

I want one of these now lol 😂

Very clear and detailed viseo. Thank you

Thanks for this advice

Nice comparison. I guess old drain method is gold 👍

Good but what will be to the oil in the cooler housing? It takes approximately 250 ml oil and stays every oil changed...

I still have to replace the oil filter underneath the car, so might as well drain the oil from under too.

How to clean to use on other fluids?

I use the first technique, suck the oil and drain. This will avoid messy job and oil spills.

Я таким же насосом масло меняю. Только перед тем как закончить, я наливаю в мотор новое масло ( примерно 150-200 мл) и опять высасываю его насосом. Тем самым по максимуму убираю старое масло из поддона двигателя, и из самого насоса, которым откачиваю.

Your also supposed to run the engine for 10 or so minutes before using the pump method.

Bro I like your toyota camry. Do you buy?

Drain from chamber is the best way

On many cars you still need to lift the car or roll onto ramps to be able to remove/replace the oil filter. So I don't see the appeal of this for engine oil. Now for the transmission, this would work well

Drain pan methode!

OMG.... I can change my oil in a parking lot and avoid going to a dealer or mechanic that ignores my instruction to warm up the car first and all the small things like stripping the drain bolt? pays for itself in two oil changes!? SOLD.

Drain plug method Better

Seems now oil changes are a big deal. It was so simple in the past. 🦇

the electric extractors arn't so good, and extractors access isn't always perfect for each car, some you can reach the bottom of the sump, some you can't (so it's no good). for example honda K20 - no, but mazda b6 or toyota 7afe - yes. the PELA pump is far better than the cheap electric pumps.

Drain

This method doesn't work for a ford ranger. It removed exactly half the oil.

Dude u still had the oil filter on, ifciarse there is going to be oil left over.

That piece of crap pump did not work in my van .it made a big mess instead.i will leave leazyness aside and stick to the old proper way of draining oil.

Drain the old fashioned way. Get all that bad & dirty oil out...

you didnt have the tube down all the way or in the correct area. This method works perfect if done correctly.
