NO more Mess!! This is the simplest mess free DIY way to change your own lawnmower oil, rototiller oil, ride-on lawnmower oil, jet ski oil, scooter oil, motorcycle oil, pressure washer oil or ATV oil. Takes 60 seconds! Great for changing the oil in anything that is hard to drain. Most lawnmowers today have no drain plug. Uses are endless. Super cheap to make and saves you money. Makes a great fluid extractor.
NOTE: NEVER USE THIS TO SUCK UP GASOLINE !

This demonstrates how genius is often found in simple solutions
YUP... hey Steven, is it possible for those modern jerry can gas engineers, to come to this 'mindset' ??? just sayin.....
Blown away by the simplicity and utility of this idea! And don't understand why 264 people gave it thumbs down...jealousy???
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!
One of the best tips I've seen here on TH-cam in 2019.
Thank you for this great video!
Thanks for that!
@@chrisnotap - Payed like $1.50 for the vinyl tubing at store and going to do this for my snowblower here soon!
Genius, pure genius!
Thanks for NOT starting with a long silly intro, or drama.
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.
Good thought, and yeah, just did that, finishing with some wet towels to wash and dry afterward.
Great Idea,,,,, so no $h!t.
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.
This just simplified maintenance to another level
Putting it inside the vac was a total power move.
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.
Thanks Chris! Genius! My Dad always told me that if you want to become brilliant, then hang with people that are smarter than you. Therefore, I’m a subscriber now!
Old adage, "If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the WRONG room."
Now I know why some people aren’t playing with a full deck! You have some extra cards!!!
That comment put you in the lead for best ever comment!
Why am I just now seeing this YT algorithm?? This is beyond brilliant!!
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.
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.
Holy crap.... that’s so simple and genius.. wow way better than what I have been doing. THANK YOU.
Thanks for that!!
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
All of those can be a mess to change their oil! Not anymore!
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!!!!!
I thought the first version was pretty terrific, this one is pure genius! My only complaint: I should be able to leave more than one THUMBS UP 👍👍👍👍👍!
Thanks for that!!
my thoughts exactly!
Pure stupidity at its finest!
Do explain how this is stupidity? I think its smart myself.
@@chad7585 You do not get the crap out from the bottom of the crankcase/oil pan like you do when using the oil plug on a motor with a plug/pan or small engines that say to tip on side to drain out the fill spout! use your head and think about it! Lol
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
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.
That's a good tip!
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.
That's great! Thanks!
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😁
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
You are a genius! Figuring out that inside the vacuum the pressure is constant and does not compress the bottle was impressive! I have a huge problem with the oil-draining plugs in my riding lawn mower. Now, I will be able to even change my transmission oil without any trouble. Thank you for sharing your wisdom amigo.
Thanks for that!!
Very clever and cheap invention. Thank you for sharing!
A little thought: liquids don't like to flow through long narrow tubes. The shorter and wider the tube, the quicker the flow.
Correct. The bigger the tube you can make work, the better. Just makes it faster.
lol what buddy you don't have 1 minute to spare!!!!!With Covid 19 I was thinking on how to slow it Down. Brag to nagging wife, "see honey, I change all the oil in all 3 Mowers, both Walk Behind tractor's and my four Echo blowers and weed eaters... Shhhh's she doesn't know that those last ones do not require an oil change
Thank you for sharing!! I hate to think of the number of years I didn't change the oil in my mowers, tillers, generators because I didn't want the oily mess and the gasoline running out of the carburetor trying to get all the old oil out of the engine. This device should be hanging on the end cap in the small engine section of every retailer.
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.

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
@@paulyuneps7428 OK, will do!
I've said it before: Something that is both simple and effective is simply brilliant. This will help and facilitate for many people. Thank you, I follow your channel with great interest and have never been disappointed.
Thanks for that!
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! 👍🏼
Wow! Thanks for that great feedback!
Wow! Maybe I'm not as hot with a shop vac as I thought. I got a genuine gray matter giggle from this idea. Thanks
I made one as well for emptying my windshield washer reservoir of summer washer fluid for the winter -40 F . Does a great job for those of us who live in the colder climates
Another good use for it!
Chris Notap , I’m in Canada. Nobody drains the windshield fluid , you just keep adding more . The -40 stuff works in summer too for the same price.
Janet. LOL. Canada eh! Some parts of the “North” are much colder than others.
As a single female who knows very little about maintaining equipment but a desire to do so, you are a Godsend!
As a TH-cam fan in general, you videos are the bomb! You get straight to the point, explain clearly and concisely, don’t waste my time with endless “Uhms “ and “Uhs” and your video editing is terrific...IMHO.
Thanks for that great feedback!! I try to get right to the point in all my videos.
This gadget is so simple, but so effective. But I would never have thought of it....thank you....works amazing time after time...
That's quite the improvement on your original design. Thanks so much for creating this video.
I bought the ingredients this morning LOL
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
Awesome!! I have a lawn care business and have been tipping my push mower over to drain the oil into a pan for 25 years such a messy pain in the ass.thank you
I built this and it worked perfect.
Excellent!!
Couple months ago I changed oil for the first time, I had to tilt the mower to one side to get the oil out (per instruction manual), by doing so I flooded the carburetor and the headache of taking it apart to fix the issue! Now this is the way to simplify the task! Thank you.
Majid Soltani - you probably tipped it the wrong direction, but i agree it’s a mess! These new push mowers on the market are crappy!
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 like how the vacuum will suck the dirty oil out of the hose so that it isn't messy when you store. Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome idea. Great video. Can't wait to make one for my 12 gallon ShopVac and use it on my pressure washers.
The original version was already great but this version is a lot better. The oil goes directly into the disposal container. One less opportunity for a messy spill. Thank you Chris.
Thank You! That was worth a year or more of hit and miss on my own!
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! 👍🏼
Wow! Thanks for that and Great to hear!
I love the simplicity of this system for changing the oil in my lawn mower - and hopefully, my snow blower!
Great idea. Trying to remove oil from a lawn mower is one of thee most annoying and messy jobs Ive had to do. Great method and well explained. Thank you!
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!
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.
You dont need or want a filter in your vac for oil suctioning. Thus most containers work. Genius plan here! Since I have 3 or 4 old and moldy shop vacs sitting around, I just dedicate one to oil suction full time.
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.
You have outdone yourself. Simply genius! Thanks for sharing.
Your explanation is more than perfect, thanks for share your knowledge.
I desperately needed to change my diff fluid. The drain plugs might as well be decoration. Found this video, and ran out to the hardware store.
This worked perfectly for getting all the gunky diff oil out
Thank you Chris
Glad it helped!!
You're a great instructor! I really appreciate your clear explanations! Thanks!
This is pure genius. Such a time saver and also keeps these type jobs clean! Awesome for replacing power steering and brake fluid.
What an awesome idea man!! Can’t wait to try this on all my power equipment! PURE GENIUS!
Really neat!!! Smart Guy. It dawned on me that this contraption would be great when bleeding brake lines.
Awesome trick, less hassle and mess and it forces me to clean out my shop vac.
I found this channel because of the simulated smoking bits and am very glad I did. You have become one of my favourite youtube channels!
Finally a way I can change the gear oil in my Lathe. They have drain plugs but more often than not it just spills and makes a mess on the shop floor
thanks!
Sparkie Kosten Good call, I didn’t even think about that. Thank YOU!
YOU, my friend, deserve a RAISE!! VERY ingenious! Thank you!!
Wow, thank you!
Damn, son. That’s genius. Gonna go make one now and get the oil/rain water mix out of my small compressor!
It is simple but brilliant. I think you can market it as a new idea in improvement and sell the product in masses. You do it before someone else steals your idea.
Awesome! Your first version was a great at idea and this one just added to the idea much more convenient. Thanks.
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!!!
I learn something new by watching your videos thks
Wow, what a great idea. I think that I am going to try this down the dipstick for my truck transmission. I like to change the transmission oil often but find it a pain to drop the pan each time. I dont really think the filter need to be changed but for every 30,000 miles and I like to change the oil every 10,000. That is about 2 Years for me as I really only use it haul stuff and tow the boat. And when done, I will know exactly how much to put back in.
Putting the catch bottle in the vacuum, is a great idea. I have used a brake bleeding kit, with a hand pump, but it is very limited on quantity.bbholds less than a cup at a time.
The only thing I can suggest is placing a vacuum boot over each end of the tubing when coiled up for storage. I really enjoyed this vid.
Plugging the hose for storage is a good idea, but what is a vacuum boot?
Your questionnaire to start the message is kind of cute and funny. Anyway my 0 turn is a nightmare to change so thank you for showing me this. I will be putting it to use probably next weekend.
Wow really a simple invention but very practical! Thanks for sharing.
This is fantastic! Putting the bottle in the vacuum had me like OOOOMMMGGGG! So freakin simple but changes everything!
That is what happened with me when I got the idea...it was the ah ha moment!!
Going to be honest, when you put the bottle in the shop vac, I thought he is going to make a huge mess. Wow was I wrong. Genius!
wonderful DIY... thank you. While it won't fit in most shop vacs, kitty litter can be purchased in fairly heavy gauge plastic bottles which might work OK. Going yo have to play with this super useful tool. We full-time in our 38' RV. That means as many as 2-3 generator oil changes a week and spills just happen. Your tool is fantastic for my use. Again THANK YOU..
Great revision to the original
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.
I'll be using this to change my differential oil!
Adrian Hdz get a stiff pipe (my gf insists) if you’re going to try even warm 90W
Another guy tries to do this with a vacuum cleaner, it’s on TH-cam. Does not work like this. Thank you so much for sharing!! I will be changing oils, diff oils and anything else that needs to be changed!
brilliant!
I have a generator that makes a HUGE mess changing the oil. It doesn't have a drain plug.
Same here, seems like the cost cuting measures are kicking in and the manufacturers dont even count on that their product will even survive long enough to get an oil change.
You win!! Awesome my man. So fing good. Thank you. A wiper fluid bottle fit perfectly in my 30 year old Shop Vac. Sucked the gear oil out of my rear diff like a champ.
Thanks Chris. This will make changing the oil on my push mower a snap.
Made and used today. Great way to change lawn mower oil. All the parts cost about 6 dollars, very handy and no mess.
Less is more. Love your elegant solutions.
Great vid! I ended up using 5 ft of 5/16” ID poly tubing (plastic tubing) for the full thing and it worked out perfectly. Thanks man!
Whoa! My mind is blown! 🤯
Thank you. This will be great for my snowblower as well. It’s very tedious and messy to do an oil change on it. 👍
The container in the vacuum is pretty smart
Thanks man!
OK That was brilliant! I have a metal can that has a hand pump to do the same thing, but it is work to manually pump the vacuum. I thought I was smart to hook it up to my shop vac to do the work for me, but placing a plastic bottle INSIDE the shop vac is brilliant!
Glad it helped
Chris,
Always intuitive. Love it.
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 🤪🤙
Brilliant idea! I love the way you think!!
I just did this and it worked perfectly. 👍
Well that was genius, I'm going to try this always wondered how to get oil out mower with no drain plug like the one I have. Thumbs up my friend to this invention 😊
The decision of mower companies to not put oil drain plugs on their mowers was idiotic. Who was the Einstein that made that decision?
Chris I just have one thing to say, YOU ARE ONE SMART DUDE. Thankyou for sharing.
Thanks for that!
Awesome I am going to use this to change the oil in my Gen Set!
The best new ideas come from out of the box thinking! I WILL set this up tomorrow morning and see how many things I can suck up!
Good as always, glad to see you making improvements. Always on the ball ! Thanks Chris
Genius!! ...and perfect timing, as I have to change the oil on my mower and snowblower tomorrow. Thanks brother!
You could also use a small funnel instead of the soda bottle. No need to cut or drill holes, just feed the vinyl tube through a funnel that is snug enough, the taper of the funnel also helps seal it against the shop vac.
I picked a pop bottle since they are so abundant and no money involved to acquire. Just check re-cycle bins on garbage day.
Chris, used your setup and it worked GREAT. for the Snowblower and the lawnmower. THANK YOU.
Simply genius idea. I love it. Brilliant video as usual thanks for sharing this. 😅😅😅
Thanks!
Now i can finally change power generator oil without any mess, thank you!
