- My mom's Buick Regal needed a oil change. I had always wanted to try out one of these oil pumps, so I bought one. Steve and I finished this job up in no time and were very impressed with the results.

Absolutely great video, i have only used mine one time and figured i would do a refresher because I'm lazy and don't want to read. Lol but i found your video and you did a great job. I am subscribing and hope to see more like that one thank you
I bought one of these just to try out for the video. Now it's all I use.
Appreciate the video, just received same pump today and this answered all my questions. I have been wanting one for a while as well and hopefully it works for my applications too. Thanks for your time !
I've used it on every can I own now.
that cap you took off before putting the main suction line on is supposed to stay on. when you thread it off it pushes the suction line off so you dont yank on the crimped on line.
I'll have to try that next time. I thought it was supposed to go back over the line and it was too small
My VW Atlas has a top-mounted oil filter, as well. I have the same fluid extractor you do (had it for a boat I used to own). Glad I didn't get rid of it! Off to change my oil today. Thanks for the quick memory jogger on how to use it.
I bought this one for my personal use. After he saw it, my step dad wanted one.
We actually did a video where we used this on a VW Tiguan too. Probably pretty similar.
Thanks for sharing. I got mine in the mail today.
Awesome... as info, the dipstick will mark empty once the last quarter id gone... It only measures about 1 inch of oil from top to bottom, the other 2 or 3 inches will not be seen there.
A few things from my experience using these things.
When pulling the oil out of an engine, have a can of brake cleaner and paper towels handy just like you would do when doing an underside oil change. When you pull the suction line out of the dip stick tube, use a paper towel to wipe the exterior of the line clean, just like you would do with a dipstick. Those things are rigid but very flappy and I've had them smack me in the face more than once during handling. Better to be smacked in the face by a clean one than a dirty one.
And keep pulling a vacuum while holding the line facing the sky to let as much oil get pulled down the tube as possible naturally. When you're happy it's gotten most of it out, stick your brake cleaner straw down the line and give it a few squirts to flush the remaining oil down. It will very quickly clean the inside of the line and prevent it from dripping oil during handling.
Silicone grease is your friend with the connectors. It not only helps to get the parts connected, but its viscosity helps to maintain a seal. I grease every connecting part up after cleaning. Not too much because you don't want the silicone itself to make a mess, but enough to keep the seals wet.
Finally, the brake line attachment they come with is a very useful way to flush and bleed brakes for vehicles you cannot pressure bleed. Give it a try when you get used to using the extractor. I found it made the whole process very clean and easy to do with just one person.
I haven't had one hit me in the face yet, but it does tend to drip on everything. I have a old fuel pump with some hose on it I use for pulling brake fluid. Just hook it to the battery.
@@Mylifeinthepits I was thinking about using an old pump of some sort before I came upon these things. Have you ever have any problems with cavitation or swelling/cracking seals? I imagine brake fluid is really hard on them.
@@captainotto not yet.
@@Mylifeinthepits I’ve tried a bunch of different designs of these things and this one with the clear wired lower section is easier to handle and doesn’t flap around as much. But there are other designs out there which use bungs and rigid line for both sections. They are the worst. Handling those is like trying to play with greasy nunchucks while blindfolded.
Appreciate the (critical) PSI information. Got the same pump.
FYI I figured out what the "useless" ring is for
Thank you for the oil change.
You're welcome. I gave Steve and I a new toy to use
Hi Janet 👋
Are you able to tell me the size of the coupler that you used to connect the air hose to it? Great video
1/4 inch. Thats the "standard" size for almost all air fittings.
This is pretty awesome since I've heard replacing a filter every time isn't needed.
I used to work with a guy who only replaced the filter then topped the oil off. He never changed it.
I've heard of people changing filters every other time. Some newer filters are rated for 10k miles.
Love mine
I just bought another one for my step dad.
How long does just the vacuuming time take?
10 to 15 minutes usually
Is that hooked up to a normal air compressor? Or does it need a vacuum pump?
I used a normal compressor.
@@Mylifeinthepits thank you 😊
What is the cap for? I could not use it
Someone told me your supposed to leave the cap on, then attach the hose to it so you remove the hose that way.
will this work on a transmission gmc truck 2016
In the instructions, it says it can do transmission fluid too.
Shouldn't the compression fitting be tightened at the top? I see it's hanging on the hose.
It doesn't fit once you put the hose into the main unit. It's too small to go over the fitting.
So, what is the compression fitting for? It seems is useless🤔
@Octavio Figueroa Figueroa I don't have a answer. I don't see a use for it
Ok Thanks. Saludos from Mexico🇲🇽
I’ve received mine and used it and you’re right. There’s no use for it. It only screws on when the hose is not connected. Kinda weird but the device works great!
What air compressor would you recommend?
I have one from Harbor Freight. I did a video of it on my channel as well. They have a newer one by McGraw I like the specs on too.
do you think the McGraw 3 Gallon would be enough to actually suck out the 9.5qts of oil?@@Mylifeinthepits
@ShiroUwUs it's rated for 110 psi, I only ran 90 psi on this pump. It might run a lot since it has a smaller tank, but it should do it.
Is oem tools and cnc tools the same brand?
I can't say for sure, but I've noticed several of these companies have the exact same tools just in different colors.
@@Mylifeinthepits yup me as well, just received mine from Amazon, needed it for a boat oil change. it’s cnc tools but it looks exactly like the oem.
@activeej8858 my step dad got one from SwanLake and it's identical, just a darker shade of green.
Nobody has covered how to clean these damn things however
I always just turn mine upside down over my used oil jug, then the next day just take the lid off and wipe it out with shop towels
@@Mylifeinthepits I heard one guy say run some brake fluid thru it???? I think a solution of water and dawn would be better to take care of the tool.
@@kenlittle3384 I agree with the dish soap.
Time waisted
