Definitely heed the advice he gives on not having oil too hot. I did this once, pushed the tube down into the oil pan, and the tube turned the corner, melted enough to kink and was stuck in place. I had to drop the oil pan to get it out. Longest oil change ever.

Mityvac should be paying you a royalty for this video. Great instructions presented clearly and professionally. Especially about cleaning and the importance of warm oil

Hi! Thank you for producing this excellent video. You did great job keeping your shirt clean during oil change :-) . Great tips. I have a couple tips of my own after using the mitivac myself you probably know already. 1) warm up the engine, but do not let it get too hot, or let it cool down as the manual says "Do not extract oil when temperature is above 176 °F (80 °C)." A thermometer on dipstick right after pulling it out might be usefula 2) after inserting the tube at right spot, you could use a sharpie (permanent) or tape (temporary), and mark the tube then next time you know exactly how far to go with your vehicle. 3) if you open the engine fill cap that will allow air from top you could make the suction go faster. 4) put a rag/towels around the bottom of the filter, to keep drips from going down onto engine. 5) after sucking up all the oil leave the line connected to the mitivac and uses a closepin or similar and hang it high - this allows the residual oil on the line to drip down into the mitivac. Good luck with your channel and keep up the good work/content!

I'm more impressed on how he kept that white shirt of his oil free!

Finally someone tells you how to clean it out!

Your cleaning tips are much appreciated. I bought mine for a transmission and differential oil change. When I change the diff oil, I’ll need to extract with mityvac and then use it to pump the fresh oil in.

Thanks for the video man @Skrrt. I don't have the same exact pump, but it was similar enough and it was the same car that I did it myself. Also not sure why your pump is so slow, but mine pumped all the oil out in about 5 minutes or less. Saved myself over $150 on an oil change and the hours of waiting for my car back. I also put away the pump without cleaning it then watched the end of this video and ran back asap to go clean it out. Thanks!!

Love the Uzi instrumental. Perfect background music 👌🏼

good demo and especially the points at the end. Well done

Very informative. I will use this method from now on. Thanks

Great presentation, I especially like the maintenance tips at the end of the video. I was wondering how you would go about cleaning the oil from those tubes. Thanks for sharing your expertise and experience, 👍👍

Fantastic review and very much appreciated. You're a great guy.

Pretty good presentation and tips but I didn’t you pre-lube the oil filter seal before installing it.

I have had my Mityvac since 2007 and never had any issues with it. I always empty it after use, by just reversing the valve direction and pumping the old oil into the same oil jug that I just poured in the engine. Never had any issues or leaks, maybe because I don't let any oil touch the seals.

Thanks l bought one just like this one l have a 2019 Ford Mustang gt this my first oil change

Thank you very much was very helpful

I have the MityVac 7300 which one hooks up to an air compressor for constant suction. In my experience it works a lot better than the hand pump MityVac.

Any tips for failure to suck properly? I have a version of this with the venturi valve where you can hook it up to your air compressor. Originally that used to work great, now it doesnt seem to be able to pull much. If I try to use the vacuum method and manually vacuum with the plunger, I do get much better suction but it's still also slow. As in I regret using this vs doing it the traditional way. I've only pulled 2 liters in about a half hour.

Skrrt Garage Thank you for subscribing and for the kind words! I’ve been watching your videos because you are the only other F-Type owner sharing so much about these amazing cars. Like the C63 V8 being the “German Muscle Car” I truly believe the F-Type R-SVR is going down in the history books as the greatest “English Muscle Car” of all time.

Haha thanks man! Didn’t want to read the instructions!

hahahaha 8:40 the wife's duck walk was hilarious.

How do you know when the oil is done extracting? Also what is that long wrench and how do you know when it's at 22 ft-lbs?

Critical part that you overlooked is not wanting to "dry start" the engine. When you insert the new oil filter, pour lots of new oil over it to saturate it and have as much oil in that section so the engine isn't running w/o oil for a couple of seconds as it works its way through new filter material.

How do you clean it? Especially the hoses?

Hey great vid, I got a question, I use multigrade oil, 20w-50, won't the oil get thicker and harder on the tool to extract if the oil's all warmed up?

God works in mysterious ways. Dude.... your oil change method is so clean and biblical. Keep up the good work...

Is it only for top loaded oil filter cars?

How long did it take to drain the oil?

Hi, Do you still like this method of draining oil? Did you ever try to change transmission fluid from the top of the car with the pump? Thanks

Does it have adapters? My vehicle has a built in system for oil changes so this mity vac tube would have to go over the tube in the car

i take it this does not work on 2016 Chevy Cruzes? Inserted smaller tube into dipstick and pumped approx 20 times and didn't get a drop of oil. Not even in the line. It was in evacuate mode.

If you use this pump for an extractor only, do you have to clean it? Does leaving oil residue in it cause breakdown of the plastic or vinyl tubing or seals?

How much oil left in sump

I actually tried this exact vac last night. While it seems to work as intended it does take a very long time. Took almost 40 min vaccum suck this fluid out.

Enjoyed the video, how do you removed the larger tube from the fitting on the tank?

How long do you have to warm the engine up before extracting it out thanks!

How do you get the plastic hoses to go all the way down around the bend at the bottom before reaching the oil pan without breaking it.

Question - I just bought this and for some reason the main tube (biggest one connected directly to the mityvac) is not coming out. I want to take the tube off to store but it's stuck. Do you have this problem? Im yanking on it and it doesnt seem to come off. I dont want to break it so wanted to stop by and ask you. Thanks in advance

Im thinking this or an electric 12V one since I already have an oil drain pan.

I thought the problem with these was that they don’t get sediment out of the bottom of the oil pan?

How do u hook up the pneumatic feature? I was not aware this unit can hook into an air compressor.

You are not a one quarter of oil short? I saw you fill with the 5 quarts only.

measure dipstick. and apply the measurement on tube

Where is this made? (Country)

How often do you change oil?

I hate mine. Had 3, and all 3 were crap. None would hold suction. I'd pump 10-12 times. As soon as I stopped, I'd get maybe 3-5 seconds of pull flow them out drops off and I have to pump again. Making me essentially henge to constantly pump it. Took about 20 minutes to get the oil out of my a5 and my a7, 7qts each.

A level starting point is not truly necessary. The oil pan is essentially the lowest part of the car or truck, and will always move oil to its lowest point, allowing you to extract 99% of it.

No need for the ratchet extension when removing filter housing. It’s much less awkward without.

Would this work for a 2001 chevy s10

Good stuff - but couldn’t help notice you wear gloves / take them off at weird times and wearing a white dress shirt changing oil is funny.

muy mal antes de empezar a sacar el aceite tienes que quitar el tapon por donde se hecha el aceite.para que entre aire y aspire mejor el aceite del carter.

Is this capable for the F type?

"Mighty Vac"..

Don't even nother trying an oil extractor if you plan on using it on a ford ranger. The dip stick tube is not in the deepest part of the pan and will leave half of the oil behind. Totally bummed out.

autozone recycles the oil that customers bring in, so the cleaning solution of Dawn and water contaminated the the rest of the oil in the recycling container at autozone. why don't you do everyone a favor and just pay someone to change your oil.your doing more harm than good.

My 10 liter Cummins is laughing...

I don’t know???what are you gonna do about the filter???you can’t pump that out and pump a new one back in,,,you’ll still have to jack up the car and get up underneath of it so what’s the point???

FAILED ...literally after 1.5 oil changes on a babied and always garaged Benz owned since new and mostly always dealer serviced. Worked this stuuuupid, time-wasting unit in the most by-the-book pedantic and meticulous way imaginable (with professional tools and previous wrenching experience on cars and motorcycles to boot). Had to abort the second oil change right in the middle of it after having extracted just 3 liters (3.17 U.S. Quart's) due to the pump or seal failing, hence the "1.5 oil changes" comment. Checked all fittings and fasteners -- Nada! And am NOT about to waste even more life-cycles trying dissect and trouble shoot this disaster. Hoooorribly slow, hoooorribly laborious, and hoooorribly poor quality. A total joke ...and the joke has been on many of us consumers. Stay away - stay away - STAY AWAY! from this poorly made and poorly thought out "product" made you-know-where. And then they have the gall to state "quality controlled in the U.S.A." Yeah, my foot! 🙄 There - I paid it forward. Happy wrenching!

whos the blonde?

You didn't show the draining of the oil from the extractor to container So Thumbs down
