FOUR UNCLES 6L Pneumatic Manual Oil Extractor Pump - Fluid Extractor with 59 Main Hose Three 41 Extension

I purchased this vacuum pump for my sister-in-law so she could do her own oil changes on her 2017 Dodge Challenger. (I would do oil changes for her but she lives more than 1000 miles away.) I took this pump with me when my wife and I visited her sister recently and we used it for the first time to do an oil change on her Challenger. The pump was very easy to put together and we had no trouble inserting the extraction tube into the dipstick tube on her car. Within just a few pumps, oil was flowing smoothly into the spherical reservoir. We realized after a few minutes we needed to snug the vacuum pump about a quarter turn more on the reservoir to maintain vacuum. Once we did that oil removal continued without continuous pumping. It took about 15 minutes for all the oil to be removed but only required pumping about 10 strokes at 5 minute intervals. The oil capacity in this vehicle is 5.9 quarts and that fit nicely in the oil vacuum reservoir without being drawn up into the pump unit. After changing the oil filter and refilling the vehicle with fresh oil, we transferred the used oil from the pump reservoir into the now-empty oil containers. This was very easy to do by unscrewing vacuum pump, capping the top hole in the reservoir, then unscrewing the oil vacuum hose from the offset port on the reservoir and then firmly pressing on the provided spout. Using the handle on the side of the reservoir it was very easy to pour the used oil into the containers with almost no drips or spilling. This product is very nicely designed as it is compact and works very well! It effectively removes all the oil with little mess and, most significantly, allows an oil change without having to crawl under the vehicle. It takes a little bit longer to remove the oil by vacuum than it does by draining, but the convenience of not having to get under the vehicle is well worth the extra few minutes it takes to complete the task. This is an excellent product that I recommend to anyone who already does their own oil changes or is interested in learning to do their own oil changes. Read more

This is a fantastic tool for the everyday do it yourselfer, it works great and the suction tubes will fit your car or truck. I used the small tube and vacuumed 5 quarts of engine oil in under 3 minutes using my compressor. The manual pump works fantastic, I had to try it first. The container is large enough to hold what it needs to and dumping it requires no funnel. This first use was proof positive that it is mess free. My nickname was Captain Hazelwood because I always spill oil, except when I used this, I love it. I won't be fear being squished by my car anymore because my over tarriffed jack failed. I wish I had found this tool sooner in my life. I've used similar vacuuming tools in commercial outfits and dealerships, but they are way too expensive for the home garage. Great tool and well fabricated. I'm a Navy trained Aviation Structural Mechanic. So I believe that my credentials will support my high rating for this tool. Read more

Works Great. Holds 6-quarts. I used it to change the oil in my golf cart and lawn mower. The golf cart does have a drain plug, but it is a lot of work to get to it and cart needs to be lifted up. This sucked the oil out of the dip stick hole in a few minutes. I ran the engine so the engine / oil was hot. The engine only holds a quart of oil. Afterwards, I sucked the oil out of my push mower. The mower has forever oil. There is no drain plug. It took all of a minute to suck out 1/2 quart. This thing is a game changer for changing oil. I would buy again for sure. The quality seems good. I have only used it once so i don’t know how long it will last. It came with an extra seal/ check valve for the pump. It comes with several size plastic tubes. I used the small tube for the golf cart dipstick hole. The hot oil didn’t seem to bother the plastic. Read more
