Well... I converted over to vacuum extraction a number of years ago. It really saves me time and effort on all the cars in the family, power equipment, and air compressor pumps. I can now change any of my cars/trucks oil in under twenty minutes while wearing a suit and tie. I no longer need to get out the jack stands and crawl around under the car. Every Summer or so, the vehicles are always up on jack stands for other maintenance. This is when I usually do a full oil pan bolt drain and filter replacement. I fell so in love with vacuum extraction, I removed the oil pan on my 1993 C1500 an welded in some sheet steel to keep the tube inserted down the dip stick from getting hung up on some of the pan's slosh baffles. Even if you're not a full-on hard core DIY'er, a vacuum extractor will pay for itself in a year or two if one has to service two or more family cars. And every other year, visit a quickie change place and risk some teenager buggering up your drain plug or double gasketing the oil filter.

This is the way! A few years ago I got an oil extractor for my small engine business... Talk about a game changer. I used to dread doing oil changes on machines like the generator in the video. The other tool you want to make the job faster is a measuring cup. The owners manual for your engine usually tells the exact amount of oil required. The beauty of the extractor is if you overfill it's no big deal, you can simply suck some oil out.

My Maserati Ghibli would cost $480 at the dealer for an oil change. Regular oil change places like Jiffy Lube flat out refuse to do the service because they're fearful of screwing something up and getting sued (even though it's EXACTLY the same as any other oil change, no magic involved). I change my own oil with an extractor like this that I bought for $100. My costs for each oil change are now $50 for the oil and a $15 filter, that's $65 TOTAL. For my car, that's a savings of $415.00 for each oil change. That allows me to change it much more often without killing me financially. I can do 7 oil changes before I've spent $480. So instead of paying ridiculous fees for a single change every 12k miles, I can do 7 oil changes at 6k mile intervals, always insuring my oil, the life blood of my engine, is always well within it protective ability. I understand that not everyone drives a car that's as expensive to maintain as mine, but I promise you, doing your changes yourself WILL SAVE you money. You'll also have the added benefits of knowing it was done right, and the money you save can be used for maintenance items you can't do yourself. You can do this !!!

This is a bad idea. It leaves crud on the bottom of your oil pan or crank case in small engines. Some boats (inboard engines) it's the only way you can get the oil out but if you can get to the drain plug, use it. Also, if your warm your engine up your just pushing the dirty oils around your engine and you have to wait until most of that oil is back in the oil pan. Warming an engine is not that big of a deal if you use synthetic or multi-viscosity oil. The colder the oil the better it flows. 2 minutes? What about the oil filter? What about your engine warm up time? Please change your oil filter with every oil change. Very cheap compared to a damaged engine.

It's better to drain the oil by removing the drain plug as the drain plug is located at the lowest point on the oil pan. Since most vehicles have the oil filter located on the engine and is changed from the bottom, then why not drain the oil as well. If you use that pump to change the oil and not change the oil filter that filter will eventually get to the point where it can't filter the oil which will cause the oil to bypass the filter media via the bypass which would be like not having a filter at all. Also, that pump may not be able to reach the lowest point in the oil pan. The lowest point of the oil pan is where most of the gunk builds up which is another reason to drain the oil by using the drain plug.

One word of caution! These vacuum fluid extractors are indeed great tools, however do some research into your vehicle before you buy one like I did. I am an old guy with a bad back so I wanted to change my oil from above on my GM LS engine. I installed a remote oil filter kit, so I could change the filter from above; no problem there. Upon receipt of my oil extractor, I pulled my dipstick and inserted the larger tube and it would not go to the bottom of my oil pan; so I tried the smaller tube and would not go in either. I did some lengthy research and found that most GM LS engines have some baffle plates to keep oil from surging and sloshing in the pan. While the dipstick will pass the plates even the smallest flexible hose will NOT pass. As a matter of fact it will not even reach the top of the oil, let alone the bottom of the oil pan. So LS owners beware!

All well and good, but you still have to replace the oil filter on a car, which means you still have to jack up the car, get under it, remove the floor tray, and replace the oil filter. While I'm down there, I might as well unscrew the drain plug and let the oil drain out. So this device doesn't really save much time. Also, while draining the oil out of an oil pan, you flush out any small metal particles that may have accumulated at the bottom of the oil pan. Sucking the oil out will leave those particles to accumulate at the bottom of the oil pan.

If your particular extractor doesn't have a handy no-drip hook as demonstrated in the video, just build a simple and cheap scabbard out of 1/2" PCV pipe draining into some kind of container in a dusty cobweb filled corner of the garage/shop.

You guys don't have Mityvac over there?

Fumoto valve is a better option. Open valve, drop oil directly from the car into an empty gallon. Close valve. Voilà ! I put one on my car 12 mm threads and one on my Ariens snowblower 3/8 npt threads.

In addition, when doing the oil change using a Fumoto valve, you don't have to transfer oil from pan to an empty gallon as it drops directly into it. This means no messy pan to clean after. It also prevent oil to bounce from the oil pan onto your driveway.

My question is could it be used on automotive engines?

Yes, Mercedes actualy specifies this type of pump on their vehicles. The oil filter is top side and you do not need the drain plug for regular service. Other vehicles really depend if the dipstick goes down far enough but if you look online many people use them for cars too.

Yes.

Does anyone have much experience cleaning these pumps? I thought I could open the cap but it seems to be on their tight--which is good, but I was wonder if anyone has figured out a workable way to clean these pump after you've sucked oil into them.

Bought this after watching the video. Loved it at first, but it stopped working (i.e. seals came loose and oil started squirting out) after only about 4 uses. Major regret given how much it cost.

Sorry to hear that as the reviews have been really good. Top tip is to write them THROUGH your amazon account. Don't go to their web site. I think they will send you a replacement under warranty and for customer goodwiill. Amazon tracks these emails and they must respond within 2 days.
