Heres a free way if you use parts on hand. Just get 4 ft hose cut in half drill two holes just under the size of the hose in a jar or other 1 liter or greater rigid container. Put one hose in the oil fill port and the other hose attach to shop vac. The hose will suck oil into jar and the second hose will suck air OUT OF JAR into shop vac depositing oil in jar.
SO GLAD I found this video, I've had an oil extractor for years and never ended up using it, just sat in the garage. Just bought a new Honda snow blower and it looked like draining the oil was going to be a huge mess with one of the wheels in the way of the drain plug. Using the extractor it should be a breeze to change the oil. Just need to find a cap to put on the oil bottle like yours.
My wife changes the oil every 2 years. She wears gloves to protect her nail polish and the slight oil spillage keeps her wrinkle free.She cuts the grass every 3 mths for aerobic training to have a slight workout, enjoy the fresh air, and engaged in nature.
I used to work as a mechanic at a outdoor power equipment dealer. We were a Honda dealer. I used to use a similar vacuum pump to chang the oil in small equipment. Worked great.
my uncle had one of these that he used on his mini cooper. He gave it to me a year ago and oh my gosh I can't believe how many times and different things I've used it for. Overfill transmission during a fluid change and all my outdoor equipment. I'd buy one right now if I needed it.
I couldn't agree more. When you have never tried one they seem like total BS. Until you actually own one and they are amazing. I use it for same jobs as you. I also will sometimes use it to drain sprinklers when I remove the dirt around the heads. and they keep filling back up. Makes quick, clean work for a lot of jobs. Thanks for sharing and watching!
Thank you so much! I’ve yet to see anyone use this and is exactly what I need! I hate draining oil! It’s messy and time consuming. Love your videos and keep it up!
Thank you for the kind comments I really appreciate it. Everything in my videos is how I really do it so I cam tell you this really saves a lot of time and almost makes it fun! Best wishes to you and stay tuned for more videos coming soon.
I saw your video 1st & got excited until I seen the $80 price. Well I kept looking at videos and thanks to this platform, other videos show me how to do it for basically free.
Those oil bottles (and many other fluids that come in that style of bottle) have that angled side for a reason. You face that side down when pouring and it flows out slowly to prevent spillage.
Excellent video. My snowblower has no drain tube and is impossible to invert. I will try this. Also - buy some shoes? Hopefully you can afford them with today’s ridiculous prices.
I change my mower oil every 20 years whether it needs it or not. This will be a huge time saver for me. Also, those Honda mowers are designed to be tipped sideways to drain the oil. I don't know if it's better (I always feel that I'm not getting it all) but it takes 5 seconds. Trying to figure out how to tip my car... (I need a life. Spending too much time trying to come up with clever you tube comments)
For those that don't have a lot of small motors that justify the purchase of the vacuum pump, a cheaper alternative is to use a large draining syringe, used for getting oil out of transmissions. They come in 200mil and 500mil sizes. It may take slightly longer to do than shown here, but the convenience and ease is exactly the same.
Learned two things. Buying a vacuum pump is more than worth the continued aggravation of not having one. The other is the Honda dipstick. I have been checking the levels with them screwed in. Thanks, great video!
I use the Mityvac MV7201 for my car, going on three years. Car has a top mount oil filter so never have to jack the car up or crawl under it. Super handy tool.
@@SilverCymbal After reseaching these because of your video, I've come across the MV7201 model, which intrigues me because it can pump both ways. Have you ever had a situation where you wished yours could also pump the fluid out instead of only in?
@@white00xtreme Absolutely. I was very interested in those also. I really wanted one....but....my issue is contamination of the fluids. There wouldn't really be a great way to clean it and I would be using different fluids at different times so when I weighed the options it wasn't going to work for me. They are a great idea though.
@@SilverCymbal thank you for the reply! No, I wouldn't be adding fluids back to an engine. Was thinking more along the lines of using the "out" feature for something like putting the used fluid in old jugs and the like, verses tipping the tank to empty it out through the top.
Great video.. The one I have is a mityvac 7400 which looks exactly like your model shown and mine is around 5 years and I leave it outside. Amazon has it for $68.98 right now 11/23/18 .... For small engines this fluid extractor is a great investment for yourself Some walk behind lawnmowers the weight over 100 pounds is difficult to use the drain screw or tilt it over on its side. I use mine on my riding lawnmowers, Walk behind mower, power watcher, generator, wood chipper. For cars and trucks you'll use 2 piece of tube to reach the oil dipstick and you'll never have to remove your drain screw again and save yourself the headache of long term use. By using it the fluid extractor can pull out about 90 to 95 % of the oil in the motor so when you remove the oil filter there is practically no oil at all and NO MESS. It all so works when cleaning up small amounts of oil and antifreeze 5oz when changing out part and you can almost safely drain the radiator by putting the tube from the cap, the expansion tank Down the hose..
Excellent comment, for those who have used an extractor it's tough to imagine doing it the old way. It's not that you can't do it the old way, you just won't want to. Glad to hear you are enjoying it as much I have. Thank you kindly
I love extraction pumps in use them on my cars so I don’t have to get under the car. But in this case with a lawnmower it’s just so easy to just tip it over on its right side and drain oil into a shallow pan. I wouldn’t even get my suction pump out for a lawnmower. But those pumps are very useful in general.
Once I startred using this for all my gear I hate to use anything else but. It's so fast for changing oil on mowers that I can be done in 2 minutes or less. Very easy
@@rnordquest So are cordless screwguns. You can drive screws by hand if you want to do it slower and with more work. This is easy and faster for anyone
There is a smaller one by Briggs, half the price, since there is only a small amount of oil in the mower it has plenty of volume. Works just fine also. The one you show is great fir cars and motorcycles but over kill or this purpose. But very well made video thanks.
Tipping the mower to drain the oil has several advantages: (1) More of the oil is removed, (2) More of the sludge, dirt, sand, and metal shavings are removed from the bottom of the crankcase, and (3) You don't have to purchase and find a place store a vacuum pump in your already crowded garage.
@@randylopas747 No sand that I know of - It's more of the typical sludge that builds up after any car or small engine has been running for a while. Also, most manufacturers recommend changing the oil quickly and completely while a new engine is breaking in.
I liked the video. When I owned a boat, that's how I changed the oil. But I no longer own the boat, or the vacuum pump. So I am going to go with the other guy's idea, and make my own setup using a vacuum cleaner an bottles. This does not mean I didn't like your video. CHEERS.
I saw that video too. Sounds clever but not practical. These last 10+ years and are effortless. Not saying he isn't clever but it's a sh*t show of a contraption designed for views not for real use.
@@SilverCymbal : Don't get me wrong as I do use a hand powered vacuum pump for various tasks. but the "shop vac with container and hose" method actually does work in real life and can be fairly practical. If a person already owns a shop vac and doesn't use a vacuum pump for any other purpose it is a valid choice.
What's sh*t is your attitude which is very very very arrogant. The vacuum method is using an already existing household tool and readily available material plus there is nothing wrong with attracting viewers when the video is demonstrating a useful procedure. What's shameful is your promoting 3rd party expensive products for a kickback. Shameful, just shameful!!!
Although your pump will work look at the size of it, way overkill for the job! I bought a brake bleeder from harbor freight that is a more 1/2 the cost of the this pump, does a fantastic job of removing my oil, and I don’t have to store a monster of a tool.
Remember when in Daves music group you posted a picture of you on that lawn mower. Then having a beer when you were done. When Sherry was alive and life was fun. Now to serious
I bought a used honda push mower at a pawn shop.l didn't know they didn't have a drain plug so I pulled a few bolts out of the bottom fingers out to turn side.
I find it easier to find a hill, put a 16oz gatorade bottle over the oil opening and tip into the hill. This way I can guarantee I get all the metal bits too that flow with gravity.
@Bryan Ryan yeah. Most honda 160, 190, and 200 don't have a bottom drain though. Only a side fill port that mimics a bottom drain plug when the unit is turned up side down. usually not a problem for 40lb to 70lb units.
I use a plastic bottle, a shop vac and two plastic tubes. The shop vac draws air from the container and that sucks the oil from the mower faster than any hand pump.
Even the ones that do have a side bolt and it always makes a mess and is difficult to get the pan under the right place. Cleaner and quicker is always good! Thank you for the nice comment and for watching.
Those pumps are great for boats and certain brand car engines. It leaves a little dirty oil behind and doesn't get the sediment on the bottom of the pan, but a car engine has an oil filter and enough fresh oil that issue does not matter. But lawnmowers do not have oil filters and they only hold a single quart of oil, so the sediment and old oil left behind is more problematic. Better to drain the oil like you are supposed to do.
Great video. I've seen people use these to change the oil in their sail boat motors which I guess is why they have them at West Marine! Never thought how handy they would be around the home too! Thanks!
Awesome! However, would like to recommend to drain just after use and when the engine has cooled some. This way you'll get most of the oil out, as some oil will remain from the start up circulation.
Heres a free way if you use parts on hand. Just get 4 ft hose cut in half drill two holes just under the size of the hose in a jar or other 1 liter or greater rigid container.

I saw the video too and he's a great guy but it's not practical at all. This works and can last 10+ years of regular use. His setup isn't going to work down a long dipstick and rubber tubing's walls are way too thick for many oil fills.
What an idea, no fun crawling under the car. This will make me want to do it more often and saves tipping the mower on the side and getting oil everywhere when i do that to.
Absolutely. It's nice to work smarter and not harder with this. I also like it since I can store over a gallon of used oil in it and easily pour it into containers for recycling later too. Thanks for the comment and for watching.
@@SilverCymbal definitely. On a side note should that kelp spray be watered in immediately or can it wait a few hours? Especially since it's so hot here. High 90s
@@kevindelk Just spray and let stay for 24 hours and then water as normal after that. It does not need to be watered in it is absorbed though he leaves/blades of grass
Great eye! I actually did a video on washing your lawn mower and cleaned it right before this video. I didn't end up releasing the video since I figured I was the only one crazy enough to detail my mower :) but at least you noticed the result! 😀
@@SilverCymbal no your not the only one I wash and wax my mower too.😁 It's a troybilt tb130xp, Honda engine gunmetal grey paint fancy wheels it looks like a BMW for the yard
After trying out some of the look-alikes in the vac pump world I have to say the West Marine pump is the one that will last, even in commercial use. These days we use that brand almost exclusively with 15 technicians in the field servicing around 6,000 customers annually. Basically we wear out maybe 3 units a year at that rate, which is around a 5 year service life and 1,200 oil changes per unit.
That's a great tool for the right job but to change the oil in a Honda lawn-mower, is as simple as tilting the mower to right and allowing the oil to drain out onto a low profile oil pan (aluminum baking pan). It's faster than using any type of pump and less clean-up.
I have cleaned many of those baking sheets and I can't say that's easier to clean up than the pump. The pan is tedious to wipe out if you want it completely clean for storage. It also spills when you try to pour off the corner. That was what I was doing before I bought the pump. With the pump there is no cleanup.The pump also will help extract fluid for many jobs so it makes it valuable if you do regular maintenance.
Thank you very much what a nice comment! Please share my video links with others I would be thrilled to welcome new subscribers. More cool videos coming too! 😀
If you have a quick lube/oil change business in your local town they will take the used motor oil in many cases. You take your container to them and they will pour it into their oil bin from your container. Give them a call.
I'm in the market to buy my first mower. I really like the look of this mower, but more importantly I know Honda makes decent stuff. What is the model of this mower? Please and thanks.
All you have to do on Honda's is tilt the mower over and let the oil pour out of the hole. Have someone hold a can, jar, whatever holds stuff and catch the oil. Then just put the new oil in. No need to waste time with a extraction pump.
Awesome I need one of those Pumps, I just change the Oil in my Zero Turn and it did take for ever too Drain the Oil.....So where can I get one of these Suction Pumps from it would save me a Ton of time......and I like that Oil Cap Spout, I'll be looking for it at the Auto Part Store Today....Thank you Great Video
This is the best one I ever used amzn.to/2rb2Gia and expect it to last probably forever. My original is 10 years old and still going very strong These are handy for many other jobs, evem removing water from drain pans, coolant reservoir tanks. Very handy
This was a great video, I’m gonna go wear shorts and no shoes, then go change my hot lawnmower oil over a card board box. Then after the oil change I’m gonna start my lawnmower up and pretend like I’m cutting grass barefoot. *******Warning don’t do this at home!!***** 😭😩😭😩🤣
Will it or should I say can it be used to pump gas out of a Ranger Bass boat. Some one told me to buy electric fuel pump and hook it to the fuel line going to the motor this is how the the marine dealers do it and they want a $175 bucks anyhow so the cheapest pump I found was $70 bucks and I can’t see $70 bucks to use one time
I wish some day u will be able to ship from Canada, i would like to buy from your store but its only based in the states and brokerage fees etc... are big obstacle for some of us, this goes for a lot of TH-camrs so i end up not bothering.
no real need for this on the Honda Mower. in winter, if you have put it away and burned off all the gas, just simply take it out in spring before you put gas in it and turn it on it's side to drain the oil.
You can definitely do it the regular way which I have done many times, it always spills some oil and needs a pan or something that needs cleaning. In my experience if you do this regularly nothing can beat the time savings on this from start to finish using this tool. Nothing wrong either way but it's the same reason I use a cordless screwdriver, it's just faster.
@@SilverCymbal I don't see how it's faster. It literally takes 5 seconds to tip the mower. But for anything other than a honda mower your extractor looks like it would be great.
Great video. I just order the 10qt manual/pneumatic version. You can either use it manually or with and air line for only $10 more. I have a portable battery powered compressor that will come in handy for using with it. Have you tried using on one of your vehicles through the dipstick yet? Thanks for the video! 😊
My favorite is the J.C. Whitney catalogs from years ago; every other item sold came with the phrase "Installs easily with common hand tools." Right, if you happen to have a fully stocked Snap On truck in your driveway.
That's fine, but for the average person, a $5 transfer pump from Harbor Freight will also pump the old oil into a container in two minutes. A lot cheaper than $65. Most engines drain fine. I only need it on my Honda snowblower and my power washer.
The theory sounds good but the problem is when you stop pumping the hoses and pump are filled with oil so when you stop the oil will leak and leak out so you need to store the mess in a container and the next time you use it the whole thing is soaked in oil. Believe me I tried electric 12v transfer pumps and those small manual ones, they take forever to get the job done but it's way too much cleanup. If you take care of a few machines this pump is a dream to use plus the fact they suck out other fluids like brake fluid, antifreeze from reservoirs without removing the tank, even water from toilets for repairs they are great to have around.

Check your oil level first on your dip-stick. If it's full, measure what comes out, then you know exactly how much to put in.
What about a drill pump?

Put one hose in the oil fill port and the other hose attach to shop vac. The hose will suck oil into jar and the second hose will suck air OUT OF JAR into shop vac depositing oil in jar.
I saw the video too and he's a great guy but it's not practical at all. This works and can last 10+ years of regular use. His setup isn't going to work down a long dipstick and rubber tubing's walls are way too thick for many oil fills.
Love your videos brother keep up the good work.

I really appreciate that! Thank you
Wait! You’re not going to wipe off that drop of old, dark oil! You’re killing me!
That’s not old oil
Need one of these for my mower. Thanks!
What an idea, no fun crawling under the car. This will make me want to do it more often and saves tipping the mower on the side and getting oil everywhere when i do that to.
Absolutely. It's nice to work smarter and not harder with this. I also like it since I can store over a gallon of used oil in it and easily pour it into containers for recycling later too. Thanks for the comment and for watching.
I've never changed the oil on any lawnmower, because I haven't reached 3,000 mile mark on any of them.🤔
I like it!
So, I guess you won't switch to Synthetic, recommended oil changes @ 15k miles.
I have owned more than 10 lawnmower in the past 35 years, most are for free, I have ever changed the oil in either one of those .
If your mower had no odometer then, You can go by the hour. Normally it is recommended to change the oil in the lawnmower every 25 hours. You know...
@jim ondras lol?
Lot of car washes that do fluid changes do it this way. That’s why you should let them stick to just washing your car.
Hello. Thank for sharing the helpful video. Have a great day.
Thank you very much
Great idea. Any comments for auto oil change?
so glad I watched this video I didn't know that you don't screw in the dipstick on Hondas I am guessing that I have been over filling mine by doing so
This is a very common mistake so don't feel bad at all. But yes you should always be able to unscrew it and no oil should come.
That is a certified game changer. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Nice but a little pricey. I guess I will stick with my old method.
Wow that looked sooo easy great video!!!👍👍👍
I like your safety shoes.
Don’t worry my shorts will protect me from anything 😀
I wanted to see him mowing the lawn in the same shoes. Damn it.
What ever happened to the oil plug being under neth the mower deck where it drained directly into the oil pan and not over everything else?
Way cool! 😎👍🏽 Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! This is a game changer!
Great info! Quick and easy!
I recently subscribed to your channel and I really like your videos. They r very useful. Keep up the good work. Thx
Such a wonderful comment to receive thank you kindly for it. More videos to come.
Great video! Is there a place to buy the spout caps online? Can't find them at my auto parts store. Where do you buy them?
EGO Lawnmower for smaller properties
Good tips I’m going use for sure.
Excellent video. Get a magnetic dip stick.
Thank you very much, that's a great idea. I have heard this magnetic ones work really well.
Looks cool but for 78 bucks I’ll continue to turn it upside down to empty.
Haha me too or what the guy up tops said use a shop vac an a Mason jar
I use this same tool for my lawnmower and previous Mercedes
80.00 plus 60 dollars shipping, I think I will stick with my Shop vac thank you very much.
Harbor Freight sell the Hoyt which is the same thing, just re-branded. It's 89 dollars now, but with a 20% off certificate, about $71 and change.
Good way to change a few quarts of trans fluid. And get an accurate measurement
Absolutely works great for that and I have used it for power steering fluid too, so easy to get it out with this.
@@SilverCymbal definitely. On a side note should that kelp spray be watered in immediately or can it wait a few hours? Especially since it's so hot here. High 90s
@@kevindelk Just spray and let stay for 24 hours and then water as normal after that. It does not need to be watered in it is absorbed though he leaves/blades of grass
There use to be drain plugs. I just use a drain pan and tip it over removing the sludge in the crank case.
Has that mower ever cut grass? Looks brand new lol
Great eye! I actually did a video on washing your lawn mower and cleaned it right before this video. I didn't end up releasing the video since I figured I was the only one crazy enough to detail my mower :) but at least you noticed the result! 😀
I thought it looked really clean. Nice work and great video.
I would be interested in seeing your video detailing your lawnmower. You wouldn't be the only one doing it . I would too.
Lmao
@@SilverCymbal no your not the only one I wash and wax my mower too.😁 It's a troybilt tb130xp, Honda engine gunmetal grey paint fancy wheels it looks like a BMW for the yard
After trying out some of the look-alikes in the vac pump world I have to say the West Marine pump is the one that will last, even in commercial use. These days we use that brand almost exclusively with 15 technicians in the field servicing around 6,000 customers annually. Basically we wear out maybe 3 units a year at that rate, which is around a 5 year service life and 1,200 oil changes per unit.
Honda mower sales are up after this vid went viral !
I like Measure what I put in so I know exactly that it is correct
That's a great tool for the right job but to change the oil in a Honda lawn-mower, is as simple as tilting the mower to right and allowing the oil to drain out onto a low profile oil pan (aluminum baking pan). It's faster than using any type of pump and less clean-up.
I have cleaned many of those baking sheets and I can't say that's easier to clean up than the pump. The pan is tedious to wipe out if you want it completely clean for storage. It also spills when you try to pour off the corner. That was what I was doing before I bought the pump. With the pump there is no cleanup.The pump also will help extract fluid for many jobs so it makes it valuable if you do regular maintenance.
Your awesome please make more videos you deserve more subs
Thank you very much what a nice comment! Please share my video links with others I would be thrilled to welcome new subscribers. More cool videos coming too! 😀
Great video. Can you provide a link to the bottle cap you used on your oil bottle? Thanks.
What do you do with the oil that is now in the vacuum pump. .?
If you have a quick lube/oil change business in your local town they will take the used motor oil in many cases. You take your container to them and they will pour it into their oil bin from your container. Give them a call.
I'm in the market to buy my first mower. I really like the look of this mower, but more importantly I know Honda makes decent stuff. What is the model of this mower? Please and thanks.
Sounds great but how often should I change my oil and is the $78 worth it because I don't mow from Nov to Mar.
All you have to do on Honda's is tilt the mower over and let the oil pour out of the hole. Have someone hold a can, jar, whatever holds stuff and catch the oil. Then just put the new oil in. No need to waste time with a extraction pump.
Wonderful. You've taken a one person job and made it a two person job.
@@rnordquest Lol, he just wanted to be a smartass. But seriously, might buy this pump for my car.
Awesome I need one of those Pumps, I just change the Oil in my Zero Turn and it did take for ever too Drain the Oil.....So where can I get one of these Suction Pumps from it would save me a Ton of time......and I like that Oil Cap Spout, I'll be looking for it at the Auto Part Store Today....Thank you Great Video
This is the best one I ever used amzn.to/2rb2Gia and expect it to last probably forever. My original is 10 years old and still going very strong These are handy for many other jobs, evem removing water from drain pans, coolant reservoir tanks. Very handy
This was a great video, I’m gonna go wear shorts and no shoes, then go change my hot lawnmower oil over a card board box. Then after the oil change I’m gonna start my lawnmower up and pretend like I’m cutting grass barefoot. *******Warning don’t do this at home!!***** 😭😩😭😩🤣
Nice Honda btw .
Thank you
A nice explanation but why are you barefoot around any power equipment?
so when job is done you still have to drain oil from pump that takes time , the drain plug is on the machine for a reason, to get all the oil out.
This will work great if you're constipated .And you don't need any tools.
🏆 I was ready to subscribe 10 seconds in bud
I really appreciate that
Great info. Thanks for the video. 👍🏼
Thank you for the kind comment. Please feel free to share this with anyone who enjoys this type of work.
Will it or should I say can it be used to pump gas out of a Ranger Bass boat. Some one told me to buy electric fuel pump and hook it to the fuel line going to the motor this is how the the marine dealers do it and they want a $175 bucks anyhow so the cheapest pump I found was $70 bucks and I can’t see $70 bucks to use one time
Thank you for the information.
I like that on how to check the oil
Put your dip stick in and pull it out
You don’t need to screw it
The man said
5:30
Sure did . Thanks
this is freaking legit, thx man
I wish some day u will be able to ship from Canada, i would like to buy from your store but its only based in the states and brokerage fees etc... are big obstacle for some of us, this goes for a lot of TH-camrs so i end up not bothering.
Love Canada Merci 😊
I have the same thing works great
no real need for this on the Honda Mower. in winter, if you have put it away and burned off all the gas, just simply take it out in spring before you put gas in it and turn it on it's side to drain the oil.
You can definitely do it the regular way which I have done many times, it always spills some oil and needs a pan or something that needs cleaning. In my experience if you do this regularly nothing can beat the time savings on this from start to finish using this tool. Nothing wrong either way but it's the same reason I use a cordless screwdriver, it's just faster.
@@SilverCymbal I don't see how it's faster. It literally takes 5 seconds to tip the mower. But for anything other than a honda mower your extractor looks like it would be great.
Great video. I just order the 10qt manual/pneumatic version. You can either use it manually or with and air line for only $10 more. I have a portable battery powered compressor that will come in handy for using with it. Have you tried using on one of your vehicles through the dipstick yet? Thanks for the video! 😊
Great video. What do you do with the oil once you have it in that device?
It always makes me laugh when the title is something like "learn to do this in two minutes". And then the video is six and a half minutes long.
My favorite is the J.C. Whitney catalogs from years ago; every other item sold came with the phrase "Installs easily with common hand tools." Right, if you happen to have a fully stocked Snap On truck in your driveway.
Pre-measure your oil in a glass measuring cup and use a funnel.
Hondas take 12 to 13 ounces.
Good point! Thank you
I'm so glad you said that was a USED USPS box.
Yes exposing the stickies really helped sell it also anytown drive
That's fine, but for the average person, a $5 transfer pump from Harbor Freight will also pump the old oil into a container in two minutes. A lot cheaper than $65. Most engines drain fine. I only need it on my Honda snowblower and my power washer.
The theory sounds good but the problem is when you stop pumping the hoses and pump are filled with oil so when you stop the oil will leak and leak out so you need to store the mess in a container and the next time you use it the whole thing is soaked in oil. Believe me I tried electric 12v transfer pumps and those small manual ones, they take forever to get the job done but it's way too much cleanup. If you take care of a few machines this pump is a dream to use plus the fact they suck out other fluids like brake fluid, antifreeze from reservoirs without removing the tank, even water from toilets for repairs they are great to have around.
You must have a garage full of gadgets
