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.
NEVER USE THIS TO SUCK UP GASOLINE !

Great idea, going to use it on my next oil changes...Thanks.
Chris Notap So is there any danger of getting any oil in the shopvac???
mdredheadguy1979 only if you fill the jar above the max line he marked or you kick jar over on it's side
I have a faster way and you won't need any of the stuff that you used.
Try the drain plug , much easier
Most new mowers do NOT have a drain plug.
I just used this setup to change the oil in my riding lawn mower, and it worked flawlessly. It was the quickest, easiest and cleanest oil change I have ever done. Thanks for sharing this with us.
My grandfather patented an "Apparatus for Removing Crankcase Oil" in 1970. It was the exact same principal, with a hand pump. He manufactured them by hand and sold them to large equipment companies so they could pull oil samples in the field, etc... I even worked for him some making them. This is a very cool home / DIY implementation! Nice work!
That's pretty cool about your grandfather!
Thanks so much for posting this. First time I changed oil on my mowers without a mess. Your instruction were very clear and easy to follow.
Thank you. This is the kind of thing my daddy was great at. Miss him so much but people like you sharing these tips help me out alot. Keep em coming.
Did you see the see version 2? ............th-cam.com/video/Uk46vCOGTFI/w-d-xo.html
Awesome technique. My dad called me a smart ass after watching me (his daughter) perform this. Thank you for sharing Chris.
I have been an oil change tech (Grease monkey) as a teenager and a hobby mechanic as an adult, and I have never seen this! I wish I saw this 20 years ago! Great simple invention that I will surely build and use.
Simplex Aeroplanes I have a small vacuum pump that is manually operated for doing this. I like this idea because you can cap the bottle and take it to be recycled very easily.
@@akbychoice used motor oil is great for flower beds or the vegetable garden.

Hi Chris from Wales, UK. Just wanted to thank you very much for your oil change idea. I made my kit up exactly as you described; first time I used it, it worked like a charm and emptied my Briggs lawnmower engine in seconds. Absolutely no mess whatsoever, And saved a load of time into the bargain! Brilliant idea. Thanks again!
Great to hear! Thanks for that feedback!
Just wanted to drop you an note and say that I used this several times now and it is the bomb!!! Thank you for posting this on TH-cam !!!!
Oddly I used to do this all the time as a kid, then I got away from it, 50 years later you show me it's still the best and cleanest way. thank you

With the new mowers not having a drain plug, this is a God send! Thanks!
Absolutely brilliant! I have been using the “tip the mower technique “ for years which causes spills and is a pain in the a*$. Thank you for sharing!
Glad it helped! Did you see version 2? ......th-cam.com/video/Uk46vCOGTFI/w-d-xo.html
Worked great! Absolutely one of the most helpful "helps" I've ever found on the internet!
Thanks for that great feedback!
Using the pop bottle top as an adapter to the shop vac is genius. I have never progressed beyond a rag shoved into the vac next to small clear hose. Very clever and well done!
Thanks for that!!
Great idea 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thank you
Truly. Now I want to go change the oil in something!
I just did this exactly like he showed with a glass Mason jar. It worked flawlessly! This is a huge time and mess saver. After collecting the few materials needed it only took about 10 minutes to assemble. Great idea and video!
That’s great!!
Now that a lot of lawn mowers don't have a drain plug, this is a fantastic idea. You're a smart man. Glad I subscribed to your channel !!!

Was time to change oil in my lawnmower and I wanted a better way than just typing it on it's side. I have TH-cam a look and this popped up.
I had some tubing from another project, a 20 ounce soda bottle, and we just finished off a large jar of peanut butter. The peanut butter jar was plastic but it held up fine.
Made changing the oil much easier. I put the wheels opposite the full/drain tube in a 2x4 to help more oil run to that side. I feel like I got more oil out this way and got a better change.
Thanks for sharing!
This is so much better than the old pump vacuum set up I used to use. That needed pumping too often, especially towards the end of its life. I had everything I needed right in the shop. I used a plastic olive jug which felt quite rigid, but ended up collapsing as the oil got high enough and warm enough to soften it. Switching to a glass jug next time. I just changed the Lawn mower, Chipper and the water blaster in 1/10th the time it used to. Well done.
If you liked this one, you'll like version 2 even better! I solved the collapsing issue!......th-cam.com/video/Uk46vCOGTFI/w-d-xo.html
Smart, and very well presented. Just subscribed. I have an engine in the back the van, I use to generate air, about 34 years old , and still going strong. This is just the ticket for making a handy oil change. 👍

Super job. You could take up the teaching profession, and make a great success if you ever were made redundant at what you’re at now. Excellent at keeping it simple. Great gift to have.
Why not use a fluid transfer pump?
Well, I finally put all this together and did it! WOW!! All my 3 year old filthy oil was gone from my lawn mower in 30 seconds. Actually, I was somewhat disappointed, after procrastinating for so long, that it went so smoothly and flawlessly. I wanted more bang for my buck. You know, fireworks, the old AstroDome board lighting up after a touchdown (I live in Houston), something. But, beggars can't be choosy. Thank you!
Lol!! That's great!
Chris, you've got the best DIY stuff on the 'net! I used this technique to change the oil in our mowers and small engines. We've got 3 small push mowers, a generator, a roto-tiller and a snow blower and changing the oil was a real job. Then I came across your video with the wet/dry vac and gave it a try. It turned a horrible job into a piece of cake!! Keep up the good work!
I worked at the Philadelphia Marine Center, and that's how I winterized boats and yachts. Great and easy method. Thank you.
Your presentation is organized and clear, and your demonstrations are very helpful. An excellent idea and tutorial. I have just purchased the hoses and bottle, and I'm going to make your project. This will really help with my snowblower which is massive and very difficult to tip to drain the oil. Thanks so much.

Wow! A solution to do a half assed job leaving lots of old oil in the engine - this is how the job should really be done.
It is amazing that It was not until now that someone came up with this.
Congratulations!

Tried this for a couple push mowers yesterday. Worked great! The mowers have no drain plugs so this was a painless and clean way to remove the old, dirty oil. Easy, peezy. Thanks so much for the video instruction!
Glad it helped!

OMG! You just saved me a ton of time changing the oil in my small engines. I bet this could work for removing gasoline from ATV's, motorcycles, etc. too. Brilliant!!! Thanks a bunch
The gas sucking is not recommended. It's all about the vapours that you create from doing that that could possibly get you in trouble.
@@chrisnotap Yeah, when I reconsider that idea, it does sound like a disaster in the making, doesn't it?
@@hillcountrygarage shop vacs explode when cleaning leaves and rat's nests from car carburetors. The vapors load the can then travel to the brushes.
Great idea -- that will save me from making a mess
Great instructional video. Thanks very much. I'll be making & using one soon.

@@chrisnotap Thanks Chris I've watched and saved both videos now. Great idea!
I love this channel. I never thought to change the oil in a lawn mower. I think that’s why my last one broke 😂 after watching this, I realize it’s just the same as a car but smaller. It needs basic maintenance too to function it’s best for as long as possible. Oil is cheap, engines are expensive.
Thanks dude!
It's more important on a lawn mower because there is no oil filter on lawn mower engines.
Ended up doing this today. Last minute, so I made do with what I had, but I just wanted to thank ya for posting this up. Worked great on my father's John Deere A.
Glad it helped!

Thanks, the lawn mower in the second illustration is like the one I have and the owner manual says tilt it on its side to drain, but this is a simpler way to do the oil change. Thanks again
Glad it helped
Just recently bought a used mower for a nephew and the wife and I did a clean and service on it, well first 4 stroke I've worked on without a drain plug , good ol TH-cam to the rescue, that's how I found this video, one mayo jar and a trip to the hardware store, I've made a tool that I'll never pull a drain plug on a 4 stroke ever again, thank you for your video.

This home made suction canister is the exact same technology that is used for suction during surgery. The main difference being that the suction comes from a nozzle in the wall, rather than a shop vac. Cool idea to use it in this application. 👍
It works great for surgery, I just removed one of my kidneys to sell on the black market so I could pay rent this month... no bloody mess on the floor.

Clever remedy, there. Thank you for sharing!
Chris, I followed your instructions and made the "device" which I promptly tried on my snow blower in preparation for our winter weather. It worked perfectly. Thank you for the insightful video. By the way, for us Canadians, this same system will work for removing "summer windshield washer fluid" and adding the -40 F washer fluid! Just save the summer fluid in the "summer jug!"
Regarding your snow blower; I have a 41 year old MTD blower in which I put the ORIGINAL Slick 50 (not the crap that is sold today) when it was a year old. Since then I've been running a continuous experiment and have NEVER changed the oil. It doesn't use oil and it still smells like oil when I check it. Heck it even has the original spark plug (which I'm doubtful I could remove now as it's so rusted it's not even hexagonal anymore). If it ain't broke, don't fix it. That thing with it's 8 hp Briggs & Stratton engine starts right up every season and it can BLOW circles around my next door neighbours 2 year old John Deere snowblower. He spends half his time with the stupid Poke Stick trying to clear out his clogged shute. I've only plugged mine once in over 40 years trying to get through wet heavy snow which the Street Plow had winged into my driveway. I wouldn't trade this thing for ANY of the new blowers available. They're just not built the way they used to be.
@@claytonroot806 I have not seen any slick 50 for about 20 years. Do they still make it? I ran it the first 3 years in my 91 CRX, still running original rings, close to 700,000 miles, no breakdowns yet.

Hi Chris,
What a fantastic hack. Thanks for taking the time to make and post this vid. Saved in the old memory bank for future use. If anyone is worried about overheating their vac, they could always reduce the restriction by drilling a very small hole in the plastic bottle top near the cap. It will still suck like a good 'un but, have that margin of safety. Peace and long life bro.
No need to drill an additional hole. All vacuums have a thermal switch and will shut down when they get too hot then will reset when they cool. I had this on 2 separate vacuums and ran each for 30 minutes without issue.

Great Idea Chris! Loved the video.
I just had a thought! Folks who use the Nalgene (or any plastic) variant may also benefit from being able to hold/drag a magnet to the outside walls of the container to detect if any metal shavings/particulate was found in the oil, which gives you a good idea if your engine is operating properly. I reckon the glass walls may be too thick to allow for this, but ymmv!
Thanks for always offering such awesome content!
Great point!
BigHesh81 that would work especially on an auto but most mower engines are pretty much all aluminum.

Use rare earth magnets or stack regular magnets for more strength
This is exactly what I needed for my riding mower! The way the oil drain plug is located guaranties a huge mess all over the frame and garage floor everytime I change the oil (which means I haven’t changed it in 3 years...)
Glad I could help!
