Park your car on a mild slope towards the dipstick, you will get almost all the oil with the pump, 🙂😊
But the idea is to get all of the oil.
Just drain it by the plug. I would only use the pump if I had too much oil in the engine. 👍🏿
@@zigzag7194 -- Draining oil through the bottom plug actually leaves *more* oil in the crankcase than the suction method. There are videos on CZcams about this.
@@cameraz99 can you link it CZcams please
@@cameraz99 cope
some engines (pentastar v6 3.6) have upper and lower pans. I think (not 100 % sure I'm trying to watch more tear down videos) the dipsick goes into the upper so although your idea will apply here it might not be as good as flat one-pan cars.
My heart dropped when I saw the cup overflow....then I read your comment about having a drain pan.
**Crisis Averted**
Lol always got to have a fail safe.
I am a marine tech we use hard plastic see through line. It’s usually used on pneumatic industrial applications. A hose store in your area should have it. It’s just an airline. I measure the dipstick length and then push a bit more. You will feel it hit the bottom. One thing I am noticing is that oil pans have a lower spot and the dipstick may not be at that location leaving you with a fair amount of oil in the pan if that’s the case.
That's a likely reason if there's a good amount of oil left.
are you in the uk?, if so can you link to something like the hose you mention thanks
I use a length of copper pipe brake line about 75cm length first into the dip stick hole.....its longer than the dip stick. I can feel it hit the bottom of the pan......then connect the flimsy plastic hose and run the extractor. The oil is much more flowinig hot.....
Save the oil bottle, on this it says how much oil is there in the side window. Drain oil with pump into the old empty oil bottle. If the car holds 4 quarts, you can compare what you take out to see if its doing its job. The other issue is the drain plug has a magnet to grab small pieces of metal, the pump wont really do that. Great video, bottom line oil changes are not fun.
For me, getting specialized oil for some vehicles and doing it myself has become more expensive than getting the service done at the dealership. Sounds crazy but having someone else do it can actually be cheaper now.
I use this method on a Corolla, Sienna, Rav4, audi q5, 4runner, and Xterra. It all depends on the oil pan but if you are patiently enough to adjust the dipstick hose you should get most oil out this way. I test this method on every car I did with the extractor then open the oil pan plug afterward. The sienna and the Rav4 I got 100%. All the other vehicles I got almost all (maybe about 1/10 of a quart when i drain the oil pan). What I do is check the dipstick level 1st then it would give me an indication of how much oil i should be expecting. Then I extract directly into the empty oil jug and watch how much it pumped out. Usually this takes me about 15min to complete.
Whatever works for you 👍🏽
Finally a video with some good music and properly mixed so that it doesn't overcome the narration.
Thank you!
You can use both methods. Use the extractor to start and get most of the oil out. Then pull the plug also and get out the rest. This way, oil does not gush out and get all over your hands and arms.
Whatever works 👍🏽
If u put a hard pipe or tube on the end of the extractor pipe it stops the pipe curling upwards and not reaching places in the sump.
Sure, but then you have to find something stiff and small enough to fit in/around the tube to keep it stiff while still allowing it to fit in the dip stick channel. You will also have to be absolutely sure that the contraption won't fall apart leaving stuff in the engine, leading to possible irreversible damage. I personally would rather just jack the car up and use the oil drain plug.
Hai Tran can’t beat the good old method😂
Simple and effective.
Agree....it woundnt go deep enough down dipstick tube on a GM 5.3 Yukon.....any suggestions...needs a stiffer tube to be able to go all way down the dipstick tube ...thanks for any suggestions
You could also use a long brake line instead of the tube. That way it won’t fall in the sump
The key takeaway from this video shows that even a manual, or pneumatic would also not get all the oil out of your engine. It’s a factor of the lowest point. Since it was your first time, do you think it’s possible that there’s a little human error with the dipstick tube? Did you review the engine cross section to see the lowest point in relation to the dipstick... for instance some Mercedes engines are designed specifically for extraction by putting the lowest point under the dipstick. Thanks for the vid!
There’s going to be human error in everything we do, no exceptions here. However, that just means that that is possible for everyone else who attempts something similar. I cannot stress enough that if you’re doing this, follow up with the tradition oil drain method to see if the extractor works for your vehicle. No matter if it’s the design of the vehicle or human error, the follow up will determine if this is something that will work for you.
I drive a '94 W124 coupe and have used this same vacuum extractor with great success. As you said, tilt the car back and you can get all the oil out. I do this halfway between 15,000km service for peace of mind motoring, plus change the oil filter.
This could be usefull for transmission oil and steering oil change, since it doesnt matter how much you take out, u have to repeat job 4-5 times or until color gets close to new oil.
Whatever works 👍🏽
Thanks. I just removed about a quarter of oil after running the engine for 3 minutes. It worked fine.
That’s good to hear 👍🏽
You left the engine running without oil?
@@arbit3r he ran the car before for 3 minutes to warm oil up then he proceeded. I’m guessing
This is great for pulling out some oil for various situations but not so great for a full service oil change. I pulled 1 quart out to add a special treatment.
Yeah, something like this would definitely be good for extracting minor amounts.
I have a new truck and a couple of old cars. For my old cars already out of warranty, I service them every 6 months, no matter if I travelled 2 blocks or 10 thousand miles (having 3 cars, I typically do around 6K KMs). I would use this pump for my brand new truck. The warranty requires oil changes every 10K kms but I would just make an oil renewal right in the middle not even changing the oil filter, just a quick refresh. Regards, Nacho.
Whatever works 👍🏽
I'd put the car on an incline towards the dipstick and at the same time, if possible, away from the direction of the oil filter, that should solve the problem. But don't fill it back up too far until you have the car on a flat surface.
Whatever works 👍🏽
Dealers and Taxi Service places suck out engine oil and they use 110V & 240V AC pumps that have much greater flow rate. You will know that the hotter the engine the lower viscosity so hot oil flows out fast. I will assume this oil was hot. Seeing is believing how much oil actually flowed out the drain plug after your trial. Maybe ask dealers and taxi service places as Toyota simply must allow a fast drain to commercial operators. Video work was good but please NO background music, we want to learn, not chill.
I did an extraction the same way in a Highlander. I was only able to get 3 quarts out, leaving a little under half in.
That's pretty terrible 😳
I use a length of copper pipe brake line about 75cm length first into the dip stick hole.....its longer than the dip stick. I can feel it hit the bottom of the pan......then connect the flimsy plastic hose and run the extractor. The oil is much more flowinig hot.....
do you guys know if this will work on a 2011 Mercedes C300 4 magic
How much oil was left? The answer is a lot! I think you can use these tools if you change your oil at least every 3,000 miles. Any oil that did not come out, will mix with the new oil and you should not have a wear problem in your engine.
Way too much for my liking.
I used this with my audi and dropped the drain plug and there was barely half a cup left. Like you said in the video maybe because of your oil pan.
Anyone who's interested in using such a tool should definitely check the results to see if it's practical for their application.
I use this oil extractor for small bike. It's extract all the oil in the engine. Maybe because motorcycle have flat oil sump.
Yup, just depends on the vehicle.
I have something even MORE convenient. I replaced my drain plug on my rider w a long
rubber fuel hose with a hand tight nylon plug on the end. The hose is long enough to reach
my pan & the plug needs no tool. No pump to get out, no battery to get out, no wires to
connect. I have heard a lot of push mower owners simply remove the fill plug & flip the
mower upside down over a catch pan. Cant get much easier than that. You cannot get
ALL the oil out with a pump. Cant be done.
!
I think you basically made your own version of this: czcams.com/video/fsEGLxZvn2Q/video.html
I used mine for the first time today. And I wouldn't use it to extract oil for a complete oil change. I had the oil change at the garage. But after 2 days I got a light on the dash. And I took it back garage they said it's nothing to do with them. So I can't wait to never go back to them. So that's when I used my pump. I've been told the light on the dash should go out within a few days. Volvo D5 👍🏿
Whatever works 👍🏽
Would the rest of the oil have draind if you removed the filter?
No, the filter doesn’t hold that much oil.
When you think the pump is done with extracting all the oil, you move the hose in and out slowly and you will find more oil to be extracted.
In my Mercedes, it makes sense to use a pump since the filter is on the top of the engine. There is no need to go underneath. I end up extracting all the oil from the car using the pump.
Whatever works for you 👍🏽
Why not extractor the car oil into the empty tank, not through the oil pump?
I'm not understanding what you're trying to say.
I would not use it for engine oil .. but it works great for power steering brake fluid and transmission
Remember the engine oil pan has in a separator/ baffle .. it will work great for back bleeding brake system
Whatever works 👍🏽
Works well with European cars like VW and Audi plus their oil filter is not on the bottom but at the top for ease of access and removal.
End of the day your typical Japanese car has oil filter under might as well go under.
Whatever works for you 👍🏽
I use my oil extractor today.And it took me 12 minutes but it took all of it out.Just took my dip stick to use my dip stick.And nothing was in there did the right measurements for the fill up and it was the correct fill📢📢📢
Wonder if you would of sealed around the tube that descended into your dip stick location, if this would of pulled the rest out of your oil pan. Also, I didn’t catch if you have your oil filler cap off or on during this service.
I got rid of the extractor awhile ago so can't test if sealing would've done anything extra. It's definitely not something that I've seen anyone else do while using an extractor so the process could be unnecessary in most situations. As far as the cap being on or off, I don't remember as the video was recorded some time ago.
jack up the the driverside rear tire if your dipstick is on the front passenger side. if the dipstick is on the driverside lift up the passenger rear tire with jack. this will tip the oil towards the dipstick hole to let you get most of the oil. same thing you do with a cars drain plug bolt... lift up the front to get it out the drain plug hole... same concept..
Whatever works 👍🏽
If you measure the amount you pump out you’ll know how much is left!
But I do know how much is left, too much.
If you know your engine oil capacity you should know how much should come out! If it doesn’t remove 90% it’s not good enough
My car's oil drain bolt is stuck, I used this method. My car's oil capacity is 5 qt, I refilled 4.5 qt at the end. So I think I got 90% of the oil out, which is fine for me.
Some is definitely better than none when you have no other choice. Glad you found something that works for you 👍🏽
You can use it but not on every car due to the design. Always check if there is something left inside
Yup, as said in the video.
My car 23 Jetta has no under jack point, so I have to use this. But for sure it is not complete oil change.
Do what you gotta do 👍🏽
I think maybe you didn't get the tube to the bottom of the oil pan, or maybe it possibly curled back up. You should only have had less than a half a cup oil left in there after using the oil extractor.
A lot of things could’ve happened. Things that could happen to anyone using such a device and things they should be aware of.
@@HaiTran 💯
Was the car oil warmed up or totally cold? I need to remove an over filled amount and would prefer not to run the car until the excess is removed. Just so seeing if the little pump is strong enough?
Typical oil change procedure is to warm the car so that's what I did. You can very likely pull oil cold. It'll just take longer to get the job done. Warming the car up takes so little time that I don't see why you wouldn't do it. You can just turn the car on and it'll be warmed up enough by the time you get everything setup.
Does it change the filter too.
Are you asking if this pump will change the oil filter for you?
It would be interesting to repeat the test but check the dipstick after draining with the electric pump....
I won’t be able to do that as I’ve gotten rid of this setup.
@@HaiTran I did it yesterday on my Berlingo...I got more oil out than should have been there in the first place and dipstick originally showed it was overfilled....But after using the pump there was enough oil to come up to the Low mark of the dipstick left in the sump....Then of course some oil is always going to be in the system that sticks to parts and or puddles.....Oh well....Better to change 90% of it than nothing....I think by the pump method you must change oil more often...
Yeah, it just depends on what the user is comfortable with.
It’s not good to use it at all there is a lot of dirty oil still left in the engine
Quick question, what's the proper way to clean the pump and hose after use. Thanks in advance ☺️
I personally don’t. I let as much drip out as possible then just throw it into a ziplock bag so it doesn’t make a mess.
Turn the pump on, spray brake cleaner and the pump will suck it and clean the tubes and inner parts of the pump.
there are also probably baffles in the oil pan that will block the tube
Whatever the reason, the result remains. There’s too much oil leftover.
Not every vehicle is designed to change the oil from the top
can you connect the pump to your car battery instead of the back up battery ?
Yes, I said that in the video.
I’m using mine right now, and it keeps kicking on and off like every 30 seconds
That's unfortunate. Time for a exchange/return.
Do this when the oil is between warm hot.
That’s a general for essentially all oil changes. It’s not going to help if the oil pan doesn’t allow for the tube to reach the bottom.
what if you use an old fuel pump for the same purpose?
Pretty much anything that gets into the engine and can suck liquids out will work.
My bmw doesn’t have a dipstick. Is there another way?
Not unless you want to go through the oil cap opening but I don't think that will work too well. Something like this may make life easier though czcams.com/video/fsEGLxZvn2Q/video.html
the song was nice, what's the name of the song?
I’m not sure, the video was made awhile ago.
My father took his Acura TL to Meineke I believe to get an oil change and they stripped the oil pan plug. The Acura TL he has is a 2005 in excellent condition however he’s been paying $80 to take it to a mobile station to have the oil changed my concern is that leaving a quart of oil or more is a little scary and a car that has 250,000 miles on it. It’s a older car and I’m driving it for now until I get a vehicle he has other cars but my question is would it be easier to go ahead and get a use pan and put that in?
Like I said in the video, you never know what’s left behind until you test it out for yourself. In your situation, you’d just have to find a way to measure what’s taken out and compare that to manufacturers specs. This can determine what’s the best route to take.
@@HaiTran Firstly I have to say that your reply time is the quickest I’ve ever gotten from anyone I subscribe to on CZcams! So I thank you for that! I appreciate your advice and I your channel is so helpful.
Thank you and good luck with the oil pan!
@@HaiTran thanks for your help
I will be doing an oil change this way until I can replace my oil pan and gasket. When I've gotten as much out as I can I will add a quart of oil to mix with the old and drain again change filter and fill the oil with synthetic change every 3 k even with full synthetic high milage especially with a car that many miles
How do you dispose of the old oil after you drain it? I'd like to start doing oil changes myself.
If you're in the US, pretty much all big box auto parts store recycles oil.
if a store sell oil. they're supposed to take the oil.
Or take it to your local quick lube shop they will usually take it
Auto zone
What if i dont have dipstick in my car
Then this approach doesn’t really work unless you have unobstructed access where you pour in oil.
Can you do gas??
I don’t have the instructions any more so can’t verify but I suspect not.
Thank you so much!!!!
You're welcome!
Wish I had watched this before I bought one of these pumps. In my Opel Corsa it's impossible to even push the hose deep enough. What a disappointment and waste of money.
Hope the store has a good return policy.
@@HaiTran Well, I decided to give it another try, bought a 5mm silicone hose and it fit perfectly using a bit of heat. But it took about 4 or 5 hours to get all the oil out!! Is that even remotely normal? The hose is only slightly thinner than the original, I don't understand how it took that long!
Do you legitimately think that taking 4 or 5 hours to drain an oil tank is remotely normal for that to be a question to ask? You should've just dumped the oil the traditional way after a few minutes and saved yourself a lot of time.
@@HaiTran It was sort of a rethorical question, because I don't find it normal at all and would like to hear suggestions on why that may have happened. Tbh, after the first 30 mints or so I stopped bothering, if the machine fried its engine it didn't matter that much, it was cheap enough, and if it managed to drain the car battery I had the charger ready. In the end it worked, did its job and saved me the trouble of having to crawl under the car.
Wait, did it work or did it not? You said you stopped trying after 30 mins but also said that it worked in the end. So did you quit after 30 mins or did it fully drain after 30 mins?
very usefull thank you
You’re welcome!
Hi mate. Can you please test it in 80w90 diff oil? I just want to know if it actually strong enough to transfer
I cannot as I no longer have the extractor.
hello. i used it for extracting 75w90 diff oil, where there was no drain plug. (its a bmw) . it is strong enough to extract oil, but it took me around four- five minutes to extract 1.2 liters. it works slow when oil gets thicker and the car was cold. so think about driving car for a while to warm up diff oil before extracting.
Great video..
Thank you!
Gettin dis cuz ma dumbass cousin overfilled ma car
It should help with your situation 👍🏽
How long does it take to drain the oil
It depends on how much oil there is to drain.
So it takes longer if there’s more oil? Lol
Logically.
@@Wavelover33 Got a good laughs out of this one :D Thanks :D
You'd think the car manufacturers would come up with a solution to drain your cars oil without having to undo a bolt.
For the time being, there’s something like this czcams.com/video/fsEGLxZvn2Q/video.html
I'd prefer to drain it the old-school way
Whatever works for you 👍🏽
My car takes 5 litres of oil …I got over 4 litres out easily , the remaining is fine with new oil
Whatever works 👍🏽
My guess is that if you can't change oil and needs to drive on a long trip then this is better than do nothing.
If I was on a long road trip, I’d rather just take the car to a shop for the oil change rather than lugging my oil change gear with me.
its not good for car , as worst stuff at bottom will stay,
Whatever works for you 👍🏽
That's a lot of oil left behind
Yes, it is.
@@HaiTran thanks for the product review I went ahead and purchased me one hopefully works out for me
You never know, it may. Good luck!
We will forgive you only if you show us the oily mess you ended up making.
Not sure what I’d need to be forgiven for but there was no mess. I planned ahead and there was an oil pan beneath the cup.
So definitely don't use that oil extractor🤔 lol
I think you missed the moral of the video.
Lesson: just do it the old fashion way
Whatever works for you 👍🏽
