Lawnmower oil change with a shop vac

[@tomprovan50]

I have watched a lot to similar video you have taken all of them and simplified this process to its most basic and understandable form thanks

[@RonMulletWoodwork]

Thank you Tom.

[@randylegall2162]

Good job! You out there or are you gone home

[@woolval52]

Simple and brilliant! LOL, I may go change oil in all my small engines now just so I can enjoy this method.

[@RonMulletWoodwork]

Thank you. I agree, it's a lot of fun.

[@angelisone]

This was taught by ATG over 3 decades ago. Glad that you done it to share with everyone.

[@RonMulletWoodwork]

Thank you. I was hoping a lot of people would benefit from it.

[@quovadis5036]

I love it when I learn from another man's success. Thanks Ron

[@RonMulletWoodwork]

Thank you Quo Vadis.

Super and super cleaning oil changing, I gonna try my Lawn mower just the same way that you're doing, Thanks for shared your best ideal

[@RonMulletWoodwork]

Thank you. It makes my oil changes so much easier. If you ever get back to my channel, check out my woodworking videos.

[@SuperDagbo]

Good ideal I'm using that next time I change my oil in the push lawnmower.

[@RonMulletWoodwork]

Thanks dagbo. I'm glad you enjoyed my video.

[@BuggyBrentRC]

Very cool Ron! I’m going to change my oils on my small engines now!

[@RonMulletWoodwork]

Thanks Brent. I'm sure you noticed the gallon container.

[@nobrakes7567]

This is something I should have thought about! Excellent & thank you. This will make changing our grasshopper mower easy, but sharpening the blades will still be a pain. I use plastic ramps and a floor jack..any recommendations would be 👍🏼

[@RonMulletWoodwork]

Thanks No Brakes. Sorry, I don't. It's a pain for me also. It's easier on my old Snapper because it will stand on it's end.

How to make changing your oil fun!

[@johnmckenna8989]

I've used my shop-vac with great success bleeding brakes through a dry system to the rear of vehicles during rebuilds.....I have bought a PL6000 evac system, but the shop-vac is sooo much faster....You must be quick, or there is a possibility of overworking the motor and ruining the shop-vac......I've also used a small tube on a shop-vac to clear the drain holes (4) in sunroofs as they easily plug up with debris, and blowing them out with compressed air can force the drain tubes off the nipples. I use a small automatic transmission funnel with tube attached to do this....

[@RonMulletWoodwork]

Thank you. I was a dealership technician for 50 years so I can appreciate these tips.

Pretty damn slick

Thanks Lucky

Thank you

[@skylark4901]

I wonder if a shop vac is powerful enough to change the oil in my truck, I usually bring it to a place because it's too much of a bitch taking off the heavy steel guard underneath that covers the oil pan, I would think a longer hose might make it more difficult 🍻

[@RonMulletWoodwork]

I think it could be done. You probably would need a larger diameter hose. It would take a long time and don't forget to have the engine warm so the oil will flow better.

[@skylark4901]

@@RonMulletWoodwork Yeah thanks, I'll try the smaller diameter just long enough to get out of the engine and then a little larger than you show here 👍, if it works for the truck, then it will work for the lawn mower!

[@DS-ss396]

You still have to get under the truck to change the filter.

[@johnmckenna8989]

Use a length of brake line that just fits down the dipstick tube if you can't find stiff plastic tube....My PL6000 evacuator operates that way with a stiff plastic tube, I can remove the hand vacuum pump and hold the shop-vac hose on it......

Amazing thx

Your welcome.

That's bad ass!

[@RonMulletWoodwork]

Thanks Daric. It sure saves time with no mess.

[@notgivennotgiven7776]

Man, that sucks. Yeah

[@puppygadget3189]

Genius

[@RonMulletWoodwork]

Thanks Jason.

[@unclematt3]

That first lawn mower is OLD!

[@RonMulletWoodwork]

Good eye. It is about 30 years old and still runs. Change oil and sparkplug each spring.

[@unclematt3]

@@RonMulletWoodwork Keep kicking ass and doing a great job! Those old machines work and keep going if you keep up with routine maintenance and do small repairs!

[@RonMulletWoodwork]

Thanks
