This is a great product, I changed my transmission fluid with it because there's no drain plug at the bottom of the pan to my van so I sucked out the transmission fluid from the dipstick got about 4 quarts of transmission fluid out =)

Nice, glad it worked well for you. I've never tried thick oil with it. Maybe harder if it wasn't vented to pump out

[@CompassPrintingPlus]

I've watched several videos on this type of pump and only one I gave a thumbs up. A. Only one I've seen with a clear explanation of the in and out (I realize this is easy to figure out, but still nice he says which is which). B. Only one I've seen that talks about cleaning it (and how) after it has been used. C. Several videos do not show the use of the parts that hold the tube in place at the pump end. One video even showed the tube pop off while being used because he failed to put that on. Hilarious. Nice job.

Awesome review- looking to get one of these to pump out the old gear oil in my bush hog gearbox, which doesn’t have a drain plug. Quick tip- I’d use spray silicone to lube that plunger seal, WD-40 is petroleum based like oil and can eat rubber seals over time, where silicone won’t. Thanks for an awesome video, time to go buy a pump at HF! 👍

I tried using this to remove some oil from my Tahoe via the dip stick tube and it didn’t work. Nothing came up the tube.

Yes remove the oil fill cap, it should work if you have the small hose hooked up to make it longer and it's not leaking air

I've used one of these for years on 4-cycle lawn equipment, and it's been great. I recently inherited some 2-cycles. Should I care about cross-contamination from the pump? I understand that I need to keep the fuel separate, but what if I use the same pump on the 4 cycle engines? I'm supposing a small residue of 2-cycle oil would just burn off in a 4-cycle engine. Do you use your cleaning technique every time you change fluids that you are pumping?

[@JonnyDIY]

It shouldn't be a problem to use the same pump on either. I do clean it every time I siphon brake fluid and gas. I wasn't sure which ruined one of my pumps before, was probably the brake fluid if you've been using it for gas without issue 👍

[@I_discovered_civilization]

Thanks man. Great info and demonstration. 👌😎

[@JonnyDIY]

[@TOOTSIEVSHOP]

Can you use this for oil change instead of going underneath the vehicle to find the drain plug??

[@JonnyDIY]

You can, will just need to attach the small hose to go down there and siphon it. Then you will need to use the dipstick and how much oil it takes to refill and youll be able to see how much you were able to siphon out. Hopefully all/most of it 👍 Draining from bottom is usually easier, but on certain vehicles siphoning is the way to go

Will this pump gas up from a 5gal can on the ground into the gas tank of an SUV? Goal for me is to not have to put the can above the gas cap level. Also, after pumping soapy water through it to clear out residual gas, do you need to rinse with clear water and let dry before adding oil or wd-40? Thanks!

[@JonnyDIY]

It will pump it, but you will have to continually pump it as it won't have the siphoning effect without the gas above. Shouldnt take too long. They also sell a battery operated siphon pump that may be better if you have to regularly do this. I usually let it dry for a few after cleaning with soapy water before the wd-40 👍
