After reviewing the reviews of the various suction pumps on Amazon, I decided to purchase this one, and I'm glad I did. (Make sure to read all the way through this review; it contains usage-related information that some people might not be aware of.)This plastic is quite substantial. It's actually more durable and well-made than any metal ones I've seen. There are two plunger seals on the thick aluminum or steel plunger shaft. There is absolutely no pressure leakage. The rear cap with the plunger is very simple to take off and, once installed, forms an excellent seal. One of the best things about this suction pump is the way the hose locks into the pump, ensuring that it won't ever come loose or blow off when you use it to fill objects. And that brings me to something that some pump owners might not be aware of. Similar to the way a Chinese finger trap, sometimes known as a Chinese finger cuff, which you might have had as a child, works, you push the hose into the end of the pump, and it automatically locks into place. Strangely, this pump doesn't come with any instructions. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem because the equipment is so basic, and you would assume it would be obvious. The hose is fitted into a fast connect in a manner akin to some contemporary quick-connect plumbing connections, which some people might not be aware of. This means that if you need to modify, replace, or simply wish to remove the hose for storage, you can do so with ease. Pulling back on the blue plastic collar—which the hose fits into—is how you accomplish it. When it moves slightly due to its spring loaded design, the hose is readily removed. Pulling back refers to moving the blue plastic collar away from the actual suction pump body. This is crucial since you can then swap out hoses if a longer one is required for a specific purpose. In order to reach into the bottom of my truck's transfer case to remove the old oil before refilling it, I may even need to use a longer hose than the one that was supplied with the pump. When changing hoses, keep in mind that the quick connector only accepts hoses with the same outside diameter. Additionally, think about the hoses' wall thickness. If the walls are too thin, suction pressure could cause them to collapse. Just be careful when selecting any new hoses since if they are too thick, they could not be flexible enough for the usage you may have in mind.One more thing: Neither the box nor the insert say that this can also be used to pump liquids rather than just suck them, only the warranty information. But it has uses for both pumping and sucking.This suction and fill pump is excellent! I'm glad I went with it over the other possibilities. Purchase with assurance.

I truly enjoy using this gadget because it expedites oil changes and prevents hot oil from dripping into my forearms. I need to change the brake fluid in a lot of vehicles. I'm hoping the suction will help with that as well.The tank is substantial, so I can generate enough suction to pull hot oil up the tiniest tube. I believe it took me less than five minutes to drain 6 quarts of oil via the smallest tube.I enjoy having the option to manually pump or use compressed air. I'm glad I could use my air line quick connects without having to add fittings. The size is suitable. It's large enough for all of my tasks, including trucking. - lighter and with a smaller footprint than other variants. hence, my huge stationary generator ought to work fine. I screwed two pieces of PVC—one for the brake bleeder tube and the other for the oil tubes—to the side of an old bucket to hold the hoses in place, catch drips, and keep everything together.I would change the following:1. When the primary suction line is not fitted in the top, it needs a closure to seal off the tank; I empty it right away, but if it tipped over, it might be a mess.2. The primary suction line might be about 12 to 24 inches longer; without standing the tank on something, it cannot reach my pickup.3. The tank would benefit from having an internal baffle built to stop oil from entering suction fittings when it is dumped out.

I've had this in my garage for a few months, waiting for the right moment to perform my 2016 Golf R's first oil change. Actually, it couldn't have been any easier. Please take note that I have never changed the oil on a car before!Oil extraction1. Open the hood after the oil temperature reaches about 130F.2. Take the oil dipstick out.3.) Insert the thin hose's other end into the dipstick hole and lower it to the ground by connecting it to Mityvac 7201 first, then the fat hose to that thin hose (wait for it to bottom out).4. Verify that the little push up/down button on the Mityvac is set to "Evacuate."5. Pump around ten times.6.) Get yourself a coffee!7.) Return in roughly 15 minutes.Done! Really, it couldn't have been much easier. When it gurgles air or the level on the Mityvac container does not rise, the extraction process is complete.I used the 1-quart containers of new oil to add new oil to the automobile, and I then used the same containers to add old oil to take them to a garage for disposal. Additionally simple:To pour out used oil:1. Set the Mityvac's button to "Dispense."2. Insert the hose's tip into a container for old motor oil.3. Pump the Mityvac approximately ten times.4.) You must, of course, STOP the flow of oil if you're using smaller oil containers (I used 1-quart containers). Pulling on the small, black "thing" that serves as the vacuum release will accomplish this on the lid. As you continue to hold that black object up, which pauses the flow, you'll hear the air release! You can always switch the Mityvac to "Evacuate" and pump a few times to make sure there is no leakage out the hose when you swap containers if the hose is still dripping a little.)Along with the dipstick, the filter is likewise located on top of the engine in the Golf R. To remove, all you need is a 32mm 6-point socket wrench, a replacement filter, and an o-ring (all are included with the OEM filter). You'll only need a few minutes for this section!Remember that this is my first oil change ever, and overall, this has been the ideal addition to my garage. Yay!5 out of 5 stars. Excellent product.

Great product. At the 50k mile mark, I made the decision to start performing my own maintenance because my free maintenance was up and my last maintenance was performed at the local Valvoline shop, which led to a very unsatisfactory outcome.I asked if they carried VW 502/505 approved oil before allowing them to change the oil in my 2014 Jetta SE (1.8T engine) and they did. Even the label was shown to me so I could see for myself. I arrived by car and requested the modification.My car has only had one owner since I got it brand new with 8 miles on the odometer. My last oil change was performed at 52k at the valvoline business, but all of them have been done at the dealer (10k intervals) even when I had to pay (I let way too much time pass between my last oil change).After about 3000 miles, I made the decision to replace the oil once more because it had become so dark and grimy so quickly. Even while I am aware that the interval since my last oil change may have had an impact on the Valvoline oil, I was nonetheless taken aback. Additionally, I sent a sample to Black Stone Labs, where the results revealed that the oil was essentially used up and required replacement. I have therefore returned to the strategy I followed with my 2004 Jetta GLS 1.8T, which I drove for more than 200k miles before it broke down!Liqui Moly oil changes every 5,000 miles!The best tool I've ever used to change my oil is this oil extractor, by far. I was shocked to see how much oil it actually took out! Granted, after the most of the oil came out, I continued to move around the hose and to pump. However, it continued to collect oil, and when I was finished, I picked up the piece that stays in the oil filter pocket as well. After that, I removed the drain plug from beneath the car just to be sure, and barely any oil leaked. I was amazed!The pump appears to be of the highest quality, and using it is quite simple. As soon as you detect the pressure falling, you must pump again. Then, as soon as you hear air and barely any oil escaping, you merely begin moving the hose while continuing to pump until no more oil escapes.

I've been a professional Master Mechanic for 27 years; why didn't I have this earlier!? I adore this item. Ignore the unfavorable reviews; it works flawlessly. I went to the neighborhood box store and purchased 6' of 1/4" and 6' of 3/8" nylon tube. You can just run the 3/8" from the container to the trans pan's bottom when using transmission dipstick tubes. I can evacuate the warmed fluid using the larger tube and 140 psi shop air in under a minute, which works out to about 5 liters or 1.25 gallons. On my 1999 Yukon and 2001 Chevy van, I put it to the test. Engine oil extraction will take longer because you have to use a smaller tube, but if the oil is hot, it will still take an acceptable period of time (using shop air assist).Give all of the o-rings a little silicone lubricant. I can't think of any mistakes. The fittings' locations where they pass through the plastic top should be taken care of because they are weak points if you need to apply torque to the piece to remove a fitting. Excellent stuff; I would definitely buy it again.

This is fantastic because an increasing number of transmissions lack a drain plug, forcing users to drop the entire transmission to access the pan. After a few pumps, the liquid begins to emerge. It will require that you use it to perform a drain and fill a few times. But it outperforms those inexpensive hand pumps. Had two of them, and after one use, they both fell apart. The length of the hoses that are included is the sole reason I am giving it four stars. To make the hose extend to the pan bottoms, I had to purchase more of it. Therefore, extend the hoses if OEMTOOLS is reading this.

These are without a doubt the LEAST-MESS, best-made, different bottles, fluid funnels you'll ever use. I've owned numerous of these over the past 25 years. They are leak-proof, fit 1-gallon and 1-quart bottles, and the yellow twists against the black to totally shut off (seal) (allowing for you to cap the tube-end when done). You NEED one of these if you work with vehicles or small engines, but they only fit 1-gallon (like antifreeze jugs) and 1-quart (like motor oil) jugs. THEY DO NOT FIT FUEL JUGS.

I got this on a Thursday, and it arrived on a Sunday, which isn't too awful, I think.When I opened it, I discovered that it did not need to be assembled.There is only one piece of paper in the box, no real directions, but it is quite self-explanatory.In order to change the oil in my 2019 Subaru Forester, I took it out. It was rather simple to determine the correct size tube for the dipstick and to insert it.The tube that connects to the tank is larger, extremely rigid, and in my opinion, not long enough. This is the one aspect that I dislike. The smaller tube that is inserted down the dipstick line is connected to this at that point.The tank isn't particularly tall, and the large stiff line isn't very long, which puts a lot of strain on the area where it connects to the smaller tube. The tank cannot be placed on top of the engine due to the tube's excessive stiffness, but it can be left on the ground due to the tank's and the line's inadequate lengths. What you need to do is locate a way to elevate the tank high enough to release the pressure at the point where the two tubes attach (I only realized this after the lines came apart and the vacuum was lost).Once you've done this and pumped the vacuum back up, the device immediately starts sucking and does a great job at it. You might have to pump it up again after a while. Now comes the point where being slack will prevent you from getting all the oil out. When the oil starts to slow down and you notice that it barely gains any momentum, you might believe your time is up. You can get the oil to flow again by giving the tank a few pumps and gently pulling the tube out of the dipstick line by about a quarter of an inch. Continue in this manner, and you will eventually finish. You definitely pushed in further than necessary when you first inserted that tube into the pipe.This quick job was done extremely neatly. Really appreciated not having to make a mess after crawling under the car. The pump handle being in the way of the spout and the potential for a mess if you don't move it out of the way and then hang on to it are two things that I don't like about the way the spout is designed for emptying the container. Would I suggest this item? Yes, please. Would you mind making a few tiny modifications to it? Absolutely. Whether I had only rented it to see if I liked it, would I still buy it? Absolutely.
