My review of this $60 tool that saved me over $400 the first day I used it! Oil changes on day one with two Sea-Doo Spark jet skis and my Jeep Cherokee took a couple hours. This changes everything!

Omg! I just used this thing on my wife's Mercedes (which is a bitch to drain from the bottom with all of the panels you need to remove) and it took me 1/10 of the time it normally does! Amazing! Thanks for the video. Best $50 I've ever spent 😀

Yeah our jeep oil filter is on top of the engine. It's so easy do do these oil changes now! I plan on still having a shop do it every third change for inspections and greasing.

Was this the "new" version, or the original version. As of the end of July 2024, they have two versions, looking very similar. The "new" version is about $5 more.

I was skeptical about the oil extractor. Now that I've watched your video I'm going to get one. I've always wanted one and now I have to get one because of the ease of use. 1 question, can it drain itself instead of pouring?
@MidLifeCrisisAdventures10 ай бұрын
No it can only be poured.

Pouring is no big deal though.

Thanks for the video. What's the wire thing with the loop at the end for? Thanks
@MidLifeCrisisAdventures10 ай бұрын
That's a small soft hose so they put a wire in that one to keep it stiff until it's in place.

Is this a vacuum only or can it be reversed to pump/push fluid as well?

Vacuum only.

Is air supposed to come out of the sides of the handle when pumping? Mine will not extract pumping by hand or using a compressor.
@MidLifeCrisisAdventures2 ай бұрын
I had an issue once where it wasn't extracting oil and it turned out that the hose I was using was a little too big for the dipstick slide. So I used a smaller hose and then everything worked fine. Try using a smaller hose and make sure that it's going all the way to the bottom of the drain pan.

Is this using the usual air outlet from the air compressor, or is it somehow connected to the air intake?

Just a standard air outlet.

I bought the same extractor. I may not be using it right or I could have a defective unit. Pumping took about 20 minutes for 1L and air compressor did not seem to help create a vacuum either. Ultimately I gave up Any tips? Air compressor setting? looking back I tried the smallest hose which had a pretty bad flow rate. Does the main hose work initially before having to use the smaller one? I really wanted to like extracting oil vs using a lift. Any recommendations are appreciated!
@MidLifeCrisisAdventures7 ай бұрын
Once I had an issue where it wasn't extracting and it turned out the hose I put into the dipstick tube was too big and stopping before it reached the oil. Also it really helps to warm up the oil. Not hot but warm.
