[@bobo888bobo]

this is revolutionary. you have saved about 80% of the work, parts and problems of using an external container to collect the fluid. well done!

[@kgcounts]

Blown away by the simplicity and utility of this idea! And don't understand why 264 people gave it thumbs down...jealousy???

[@stevenbingham3061]

This demonstrates how genius is often found in simple solutions

[@petersack5074]

YUP... hey Steven, is it possible for those modern jerry can gas engineers, to come to this 'mindset' ??? just sayin.....

[@jagwarrior6752]

Genius, pure genius! Thanks for NOT starting with a long silly intro, or drama.

[@VitorMadeira]

One of the best tips I've seen here on KZbin in 2019. Thank you for this great video!

[@chrisnotap]

Thanks for that!

[@leemehan]

@@chrisnotap - Payed like $1.50 for the vinyl tubing at store and going to do this for my snowblower here soon!

[@KillSwitchNY]

Putting it inside the vac was a total power move.

[@newcreation07]

Only downside is that if you’re having to suck out large amounts of oil, you can’t keep track of how much you’re sucking out at a time without having to stop and open the shop vac.

[@davidrobins4025]

I love the simplicity of this system for changing the oil in my lawn mower - and hopefully, my snow blower!

[@c-martz2846]

This just simplified maintenance to another level

[@joshuaanothereraseddad]

Why am I just now seeing this YT algorithm?? This is beyond brilliant!!

[@leebrewer1190]

Great solution - the oroginal system can also be used when installing new toilet mechanisms in toilet tanks to get ALL water out of the tank before removing the external nut that typically allows dribbling onto the floor.

[@MrJdsenior]

Good thought, and yeah, just did that, finishing with some wet towels to wash and dry afterward.

[@kenhurley4441]

Great Idea,,,,, so no $h!t.

[@davethezonie912]

That's a great idea! Every fall I have to winterize my parent's cabin. I hate having to use a ladle to remove the water from the tank and bowl. This will make that job so much easier. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@billthomas6296]

Brilliant idea. I love it and will be using it on my next oil change of my pressure washer. I am a retired plumber and would have been able to use this system quite often. Thank you for another great idea and solution to everyday life.

[@thurm101]

I am “blown” away by this!!! There really are simpler ways to do difficult things. When I change the oil on my riding mower it’s a TOTAL MESS. I am going to be doing this!!!!!

[@jadesumsion]

I’ve watched this video about five times. It’s so simple and easy. And such a great idea. Gearbox, tiller, lawnmower, ........ and so much more

Thank you so much for posting this video, I've been trying to figure out how to change the oil in my Lawnmower and Generator, and made a huge mess everywhere, but My Good Sir made life 100 times easier, and I couldn't be happier with your tutorial. Awesome 🤪🤙

[@badgergearcompound738]

Wow. I’ve seen kits over the years, with vacuum and attachments. Most everyone has a shop vacuum of some sort and an empty 2L. I actually have a spare vac. because I upgraded. Now I have dedicated syphon/vacuum. So simple. Awesome!! Thank you

[@handson2022]

This was awesome. I followed your video after stripping out my mower's drain plug trying to remove it. Worked like a charm! I'll do this every time now.

I was contemplating buying a vacuum pump for changing the "top end" or "high pressure" oil in my 7.3 liter turbo-diesel engine. The high pressure oil system holds a total of about 3 quarts. After watching this video, I think I'm going to use my shop-vac. Thanks, @Chris Notap. This is a realy great tip.

[@VKSgtSLaughter]

Genius!! ...and perfect timing, as I have to change the oil on my mower and snowblower tomorrow. Thanks brother!

[@firechicken5]

Wow even better than the last one! I just showed my dad this video. He’s just getting ready to do oil changes on all his power equipment so he was pretty glad to see this clean solution to a messy job.

[@chrisnotap]

That's great! Thanks!

[@firechicken5]

Just helped changed the oil in all my dads mowers. Stupid easy! We didn’t have a pop bottle but a piece of 1/4” plywood and duct tape worked just as well. Only issue I had was I put the hose a little too far into the container inside the vac and a little bubbled over even though it didn’t over fill. Tiny spill contained in the shop vas is not a big deal compared to the alternative. Plus now I know better so next time will be mess free😁

[@captmatt5596]

Thank You! That was worth a year or more of hit and miss on my own!

[@PMichaels]

This is my annual Chris Notap appreciation message. I made this last year and just used it again this year. It is the fastest and cleanest way to change my lawn mower oil. This is a genius contraption and I still love it. Thanks again, Chris! 👍🏼

[@chrisnotap]

Wow! Thanks for that and Great to hear!

[@dcsmith5839]

Great idea!Thanks for posting.Small engines are getting to be a pain to service,compared to a few years ago.Simple solutions are the best.

[@rfcasey]

Awesome Idea. I recently made one by substituting a 90w oil bottle top for the 2 Liter soda bottle top. No drill required, just a razor knife. Worked flawlessly. Thanks for the video

[@PMichaels]

THANK YOU, CHRIS! This video is fantastic! I just made one of these systems for less than $5 and it worked great. Normally changing the oil on my lawn mower is a giant, messy PITA. I was able to change the oil on my mower today with zero mess this time . What a genius invention! I wish I could like this video multiple times. Great job, sir! 👍🏼

[@chrisnotap]

Wow! Thanks for that great feedback!

[@barryrobison2073]

What a great idea! I've used my shop vac for clearing clogged drains; I'm just going to have to start thinking outside the box for all the other possibilities like you did with this. Thanks for sharing!

Gonna build this set up tomorrow.......thanks for the video, and idea....I have the same exact shop vac....will make it WAY easier and faster.

[@marknye51.thefixitguy]

I've been doing small engine repair for over 35 year and never would of thought of this. The older equipment had drian plugs but alot of these new mowers and especially generators don't have drain plugs. They say about to tip the equipment over to drain the oil, we that's just a mess in most cases. I will be trying this very soon. Great video thanks

Awesome trick, less hassle and mess and it forces me to clean out my shop vac.

[@wveenhof]

Thank you Chris! I couldn't remove the square drain plug from my riding mower oil drain hose. The drain hose is great to have if you could get some leverage applied to loosen the plug 😮!! Anyway, this is such a great idea, easy to make, and it worked perfectly. I was able to use a full 10 ft of tubing (I wasn't sure I'd have enough with 6ft) and I had a bit longer on the more rigid tubing too. My deWalt shop vac filter is centered in the container but I could still fit in a washer fluid bottle for collection because the container is flexible enough to dent in and then recover after removed. Perfect solution!! No mess!!! Reusable!!! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and skills and for all the quality videos.

[@deangray1823]

Thanks Chris. This will make changing the oil on my push mower a snap.

[@3636lk]

I'll be doing this next spring to my Lawnmower and thinking of you while doing it. Love folks like you on youtube that make my life easier.

[@paulyuneps7428]

3636lk Should do it now. The combustion causes oil to be corrosive so having it sit in there isn’t ideal. Maybe the cold makes it relatively insignificant. Get er done sometime anyway

I like your idea, I have used this suction method for some time now. In addition to pulling out the old oil, when I get done I slip the oily hose end in a bottle of soapy water mixture for a few seconds and it cleans the entire hose. No oily drippy mess after the oil change.

[@GrinfilledCelt]

This is a brilliant idea! Changing the oil in my generator the old way makes a terrible mess of the generator and whatever spot I do it in. I end up not changing the oil as often as I should - very dangerous since I have to rely on that generator. Thanks muchly for the tip!

[@markb8954]

Exactly! The easier & cleaner the process the more often one will be tempted to do oil changes. Our new push mower doesn’t have a lower drain cap & my Troy Bilt wood chipper has them in inconvenient places. Hard to do means less apt to do it. This idea with the vacuum looks brilliant.

[@gedreillyhomestead6926]

So simple, its brilliant! 👏👏👍

[@xwarlockxbakerx]

i have that exact same yard machines lawn mower, the drain plug is underneath where the blade is at, its usually horrible to drain the oil because the plug gets all gunked up and dirty and is hard to remove, great idea!

[@cherylpa527]

This worked perfect!! I have a rigid shopvac and couldn't use the 2 liter as it didn't match up with the opening, but I used a Gatorade single serve and cut it at the top indentation and used a 5/16 drill bit and angled it around a little to make the opening large enough (I don't have an 11/32 bit). I used an empty narrow container of vegetable oil inside the shop vac. It took about 2 minutes to get all the dirty oil out of my mower! I will use this contraption to change my snow blower oil too. No mess involved and It cost about $4 for the tubing, thank you so much!!!

[@supergoober1021]

Damn, son. That’s genius. Gonna go make one now and get the oil/rain water mix out of my small compressor!

[@russ01915]

Worked like a charm. Put a gallon jug in a shop vac and stuck the hose in it. Not one drop of oil spilled anywhere. Thank You for sharing this. Just a tip. When done, stick the 1/4" poly pipe into the other end of the 1/4 inch vinyl tubing to prevent any dripping while storing.

[@chrisnotap]

That's a good tip!

[@Candoit2]

Pure genius! Excellent instructions and video!! Thank you!!

[@silviaparra7245]

You are a genius! Figuring out that inside the vacuum the pressure is constant and does not compress the bottle was impressive!
