Good video but I have one recommendation - do the oil filter first. I have a similar car (2010 C300) and on most Mercedes with the oil filter on top of the engine, the oil filter housing is also a one-directional valve. So when you first remove the old oil filter the valve opens and more old oil will spill into the oil pan - and hence you’ll get more old oil out. So replace your oil filter as step 1. Then begin extracting. Even professional mechanics (whether they change oil the classic way or extraction way) will always do the oil filter first on. Mercedes. Maybe other cars also apply.

When pouring oil from 5qt or 1qt containers, turn the oil container flat/horizontal to pour a smoother consistency. Less chance of creating a mess or spill and you won't need a funnel anymore either after your first time.

When filling with those 5L oil containers, pour with them on their sides. It will come out with a much steadier initial flow with far less chance of spilling everywhere. And I’ve been using a topsider for a couple of my cars and it works well, though this pump seems to get the job done much faster than the vacuum. Great video.

Did this yesterday, ran the car for 10 minutes to get the oil warm, sucked the oil out and during this time removed the old filter, at the end when no more oil remained I took the suction pipe out of the dip stick hole and sucked the remaining from the oil filter bowl. Fitted a New filter and then filled with new oil. I actually added about 3/4 of a litre and then sucked this out just to make sure it flushed through and diluted any oil that I didn’t catch initially.. all in all it was about 40 minutes start to finish including me hunting for a 36mm socket ..

Thanks guys. The economy being what it is, saving time and money is a great thing.

ATG & I recommend if the Tube (hose) is stuck and there is no way that you can pull it out. 1. Go under the car, remove the oil pan. I hope you know how to drain oil the regular way. 2. Locate the Oil Drain's Hole. 3. If you see the Tube then use a long nose plier to pull it out. Pull about 10 to 25mm, then cut the top Tube. 4. If you don't see the protruded Tube then get a long flexible rod & insert from the top (Oil's Dip Stick Hole). FYI. Don't run the engine too hot & work right away.

Hoping to try this on a power steering system tomorrow. Looks easy enough.

If he parked at downhill and warmed up 5mins, Engine Oil will be drained upto 97%. 3% oil will stuck at filter. Remember: Thin tube should be push all the way down inside the dipstick. Fact is I used this pump extractor.

Clear and to the point, great video! 👍 One thing to point out, I too don't desire to spend ~$80 for the "Suction" style oil change canisters, yet, with the "pump" it works great when the end of the hose is submerged under enough fluid, as soon as air is introduced to the the hose the slurping begins lacking the suction to pull as much oil out than the suction style (perhaps that remaining oil is insubstantial); just saying.. Anyhow, Thanks for the video.!

From someone that has used this pump and the canister style evacuator, just spend the extra money on the canister. It’s self contained and so much cleaner.

I'm sold. I'll use your link and order the extractor now. Thanks for the video!

Great video, nice to have the oil filter/cartridge on the top side. I still need to jack/ramp up to change my oil filter at the bottom.

I'm going to buy this and try it on my 2013 Infiniti FX37. Oil Filter located RH lower front of the engine.

For top fitted oil filters this is great but when oil filter is underneath you still need to jack the car up so might as well drain it the old fashion way

good idea I used the pump from harbor freight to get some transmission fluid that was overfilled out. the last oil change I had done the threads in the pan are shot so either teflon tape (which is what I used last time), a larger sized plug, or a new oil pan in order. I think I'll try this before any of those options.

Thanks, that was super easy, but I only needed it to remove excess oil since I put to much in. Excellent.

Next time you pour your oil, rotate the jug on its side. It won’t gulp out and it’ll flow more smooth.

Great video. Here is a thought. Rather than pump the used oil into the drain pan, pump it into a 2.5 or 5 gallon container. Drill a hole in the cap and snake the tubing through the cap. Also obtain an extra cap to store the oil. This would make handling the used oil alot easier

I did my yesterday, I have same extractor about 7 years I just bought new houses in Home Depot the original got too hard when you leave the old oil in not washing the hoses inside.. I also do the filter first heard it creates vacuum so I open all up together with the oil cap . And I also buy only mercedes filters it’s maybe $5 more but between buy the best for mercedes . Good video 👌 And when you there waiting for the oil to extract I usually wipe the engine with rag so it looks like new 😅

One of the reasons in removing the oil drain plug is that it has a magnet in it to catch any metal particles and its a useful too to see if something very small has broken off in the engine but has not been detected via other ways like your engine blowing up. That can happen!! Remember there is no reason to change the copper washer on the plug, just remove it and warm it up to cherry red and the washer is as good as new. Heating it anneals the copper and makes it soft again. No need for the garage to charge you 12 euros for a bloody washer! Personally I don't favour these little pumps as you don't get all of the oil out of the engine, there are a lot of places that oil resides in. the only way to change all the oil is to remove the drain plug and then flush through with engine flushing oil. The other important thing to bare in mind is to heat the engine up to around 45/ 50ºC so that the oil is thinner and flows into the pump more easily.

Should definitely run the car a little bit to fill the oil filter with oil, turn the car off, then check the level again and fill to the correct level. Should actually fill to the top of the checkering on the dip stick.

I've been changing my oil like this since forever. My oil filter is under the engine, but I've found that I only need to change that every third oil change if I do oil changes earlier than specifications, say after 8 000 instead of 12 000 miles.

Great review thank you very much

Great video DC! It sure is handy for a quick oil and filter service. I’ll look into that electric pump. I have 2 of the manual ones but being able to drain the waste oil directly into a bottle is super handy.

nice no need for oil drain pan just straight into bottles. once one filled. pause extractor then another bottle. clean efficient

Already got an oversized plug, so next change might need whole new pan - $992.70!!! So now I'm looking for someone to extract it instead.

That little pump will start leaking after awhile but it will work still

Can extract oil with oil extractor immediately after shut off engine after travel around 10km? Because i see at the oil extractor manual, it mentioned, operating temperature for oil to extract at 40°c to 60°c. If too hot can damage the pump.

I got one but it will not pump much oil, seems I can't get the small tube down the dipstick hole enough.

The one that i use,says,flush oil pump through with Diesel to clean it out when finished.

This perfect for apartments and public lots

Did that take out ALL the oil ?

Am I thinking correctly? If you pull the dirt through the dipstick you are reversing the flow of the oil pulling all that dirt metal particles upward. Through the parts of the engine. So it seems to me a bad idea.

I wonder if this works on transmission oil

I don't like using the cars battery so I bought a 12V/10amp Cigarette outlet power supply to run it. Replace the battery clamps on the pump with a 12V cigarette Adaptor. The power supply is rated 120W(Max 150W) and works perfectly. I also have a Mercedes , I like to do the oil filter first from hearing something about a drain back valve. And instead of sticking the hose down the dipstick tube I bought a rubber stopper from a hardware store, drilled a hole down the middle and inserted the hose thru it flush with the bottom of the stopper. The stopper fits in the top of the dipstick tube and seals it, then turn the pump on and all the oil gets sucked out, basically using the dipstick tube as the suction hose. The rubber stopper is 14mm bottom, 19mm top and 25mm long. I think the hole I drilled was around 5mm, which accepts the 6mm OD hose well. I'll set everything up, go for a 15 minute drive, and the oil temp seems about right for easy extraction. Can't rely on the cars temp gauge since coolant gets to operating temp much quicker than the oil heats up. Can always pull the dipstick and try to gauge the oils temp to see if it's hot enough. The nylon hoses are pretty durable and can handle high temps, much higher than oil gets to at normal operating temps. The main issue is just burning yourself with hot oil.

Great video

I've been using the manual pump that has a tank reservoir that the oil dumps into. It works good but it takes forever to drain my 2014 C250. I like this oil pump because it pumps faster so I just bought one. I wonder if I can use this on my 2009 Porsche 911 and stick the tube down from the oil filler?

I might try one for draining my Nissan's CVT. They still have the tube that normally would be used to check the fluid just no dipstick any more. I guess they don't realize that some of us want to know what is going on in there and how filthy and nasty and dark the fluid has become over time. It is not like CVTs are maintenance free at all!! I wonder how many of them fail from a lack of maintenance considering that a lot of people are mislead by extremely long service intervals or the famous myth of lifetime fluids. CVTs have a fairly questionable reputation when it comes to reliability or the lack thereof.

Good video. However seeing the tube curled up like that makes me think it'll curl up in the dipstick tube and not get all the oil. I like the straight tubes better that come with the vacuum type extractors. Tell me what you think about that.

Def getting mine

My tube that suppose to extract the oil is stuck. Any advice of how to get it out?

Why not put the new oil into the motor with the same pump or buy another pump for clean oil

Forgot to car the car and recheck level

This seems great, but would love to know what you'd do with the two tubes during the months between oil changes. Do you leave them dirty, or do you pump a cleaning liquid through them? I am still doing my oil changes on my W203 by putting the front on a little ramp and draining the oil from underneath, but it's not something I enjoy doing. Would love to switch to this pumping approach instead.

great idea

You could have used your oil oil extractor pump to put the new oil in the engine.

Hi handsome great video. ❤ And product review

Amazing!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️

Can you do a “how to” video on an oil change for a Porsche 992?

Where do you insert the tube on a car that Does not have a dipstick? Can you run it down the the hole in the filter housing?

Definitely quicker and easier and much more convenient, but what about the contaminants at the bottom? Those are still there.

It would be nice if you can try that on the Porsche 997, I will definitely get one if it could be used on the 997.👍

I bought one just like that from Amazon but couldn’t get the hose deep enough to pump. Any ideas ?

Great video, thank you 👍🏻

Hi Can i change oil for my 2008 turbo by extraction Thanks

How should/can I clean the pump after use?

Keep the 5 qt jug from the last oil change and dump it straight into that when pulling from the engine, no more need for a contaminated container in the garage.

To properly check oil by MB- after you put your oil in showing 1/4 up the stick 1-Get car up to temp- shut car off 2- set a 13 min timer- when car is turned off 3- check dip stick after timer is up 4- add oil till half way on stick repeat step. (13min cool downs)

What size socket do you have for the oil filter? I have a '13 C250, base model...

To the gym immediately :)

After you use this extractor, how do you clean it off?

Temperature of the oil ?

How do you clean the pump?

You don't remove the dirtiest oil from the bottom of the pan in the extraction method

I presume it doesnt operates long enough to drain the battery? What power is your pump? I've seen 60w and 100w listed. Obviously the 100w will fo a quicker job

I need to extract about half a quart off my engine oil because I put 5 quarts in a 4.4 capacity. Will this device do the job? Cause I don't want to do all that work of unplugging the drain plug.

The splash guard is a pain. I drive hard, I need all that oil out of there. Have you ever used an oil separator? They’re pretty great, if you’ve got the room for one.

I purchased $80 extractor but plastic tubing will only go in 11" and something is OBSTRUCTING tube from going in any further. Purchased copper tube but this does not WORK either. PLEASE HELP ME.

I assume its not recommended to have a magnetic plug if you change oil like this since i cant wipe the plug off

you should remove oil filter before draining the oil. that can oil from oil filter housing drop to the bottom of engine and get almost all of the oil out.

Does leaving 0.3 - 0.4 quarts of the old oil inside not bother you?

Just buy a oil extractor from Harbor Freight. Its actually made for doing just this.

I have this pump…. It’s slow

Could you also use the oil extractor to add the new oil from the bottle of oil to the filler tube?

hey , i pushed my plastic pipe too deep in my jetta dipstick pipe and now its stuck, anyone found a solution to this ?

Im using a drill pump lol

Would this work on your 997.2?

Why didn't you use the pump to fill the new oil in?

Nice device, how often do you change your oil?

Am I the only one that would like him to drain the oil from the pan just to verify all the oil was drained out?

Not a fan of a process that leaves ~300ml (according to this vid) in the pan.

I wanted to like your video but I couldn’t because you told me to smash the subscribe and now my phone is dead.

IS changing the filter necessary?

Then pull the drain plug and see how much oil is left. You would be better off taking it somewhere

I bought the exact pump and it sucked

you are supposed to start car after adding the oil then shut off car then check oil . You never started the car

How do you clean tubing???? Do you get another empty can and run water through other side tubbing???

Are u using this fir your 997 also?

Greetings! I would like to send you an email about a torque limiting oil filter sockets. Eliminate the need for torque wrench! Klick Wrench Team

You are a handsome man.

Any reason why you could not use this to fill the engine with oil? I buy 20L oil and this would make it easier.

Doesn't work, leaves oil in drain pan warm or not.👎

Im not convinced. He should’ve at least removed the drain plug to verify that everything drained out.

That’s definitely not a good choice. Anything that may be at the bottom of your pan is not getting drained.

You didn't drain everything cause you left the filter on, rookie mistake.

i have bought one and it absolutely struggled to suction out the oil 1hr and 20min only took out 200ml Pathetic

Really nice 👌 😍💋 💝💖❤️

Well....its quick ...but conventional method is much more better for your engine life...as most of the oil sludge settle at the bottom of oil sump... conventional method allows it to drain it as much as possible...but in this method most of the oil sludge will remain inside the engine and pump will not suck it at all... and continue to increase friction...so i donot like this method...and i dont recommend this to anyone..

Does not work on a C5 1997-2004 corvette....followed directions as described in video...had exact type of pump...even put the clamps on. There was suction and oil did appear around the extraction hose...but no oil pumped out...don't waste your time and money as I did... now I have another piece of junk laying around in my small garage....you cant even pump water with it...as the manufacture states. This useless device will eventually be tossed into the garbage!!

Does using this remove all the oil? i mean what is the reason all repair shop use regular method?
