This is the absolute best way to change the oil in your rider mower or vehicle. I hate getting oil all over me and this is the ticket for staying clean.
I'm good with it on a riding mower, but not a fan in a car. I feel like draining it at the bottom would likely get more deposits and junk out. I could be wrong, but it makes me feel better at least.
Thanks for the vid, just got one and had doubts on the setup!
Glad to help. Were you able to get it working?
@@SeanDIY yes, works great
Good news. I used mine yesterday for the 3rd use.
Very clean way of doing.
Great job, I'm buying one.
Thanks, pal
Thank you. I appreciate you watching. Let me know how it goes for you.
Did you get yours? If so, what do you think?
@@SeanDIY Don't know if the opening commenter got the pump or not but I did. I found your video to be very helpful. I'll check back with you in the next month or so on how the pump works for me. Looks promising.
@0U8123MTA3 so far so good. I've used it 3 or 4 times. I think people that had problems most likely hooked up an air compressor at a high pressure.
You extract the engine oil via the dip stick tube, NOT the oil filler cap. You can't get to the bottom of the oil pan unless you go through the dip stick tube.
I agree. I don't believe you can get into the oil completely without going down the dipstick tube. I wouldn't do that too often because I believe draining it at the bottom will get out more gunk.
Not on every car, some vehicles leave some behind.
I will not remove the ATF like this because when you do this kind of maintenance you should replace the filter as well, as you should clean the magnets that are at the bottom of the sump cover even if the cover is horizontal o vertical. I don't know this type of transmission, but my car is a 4x4 SUV so it's easy for me to drain and open the cover to replace the filter as well and the gasket from the cover.
I'll definitely be removing the pan cover in the spring, but for now it was an extra fluid change which isn't terrible. You are correct, the drain and filter change is the better way. With this car you have no drain plug and you need to use gasket maker as they don't sell a pre-made gasket which makes me nervous.
Good for small engine shops
Absolutely, you can use it on mowers and such as well.
How did you clean the fluid extractor pump and related hoses once you were done removing the transmission fluid? Would you use the same cleaning process for engine oil?
I just dumped it out and didn't worry about getting it perfectly clean. The fluid never goes back into the vehicle.
And uh yeah, want us to let you know if we would do it? Or maybe if we have done it before. I’m thinking I would do it sometime in the future, yeah.
Cool.
The only tube I could get down the trans tube was the smallest and it took a long time to extract a good amount and I had to keep pumping
It definitely worked for me.
is this the new version on amazon? how has it held up?
I have used it 4 or 5 times and it works fine. I'm not a mechanic, so I don't use it regularly, but I still use it some.
The cutoff piece is part of the brake bleeding hose
Awesome. Thanks for watching and for sharing this information. To me the odd thing would be different fluids in it. Like.gping from oil to.coolant to ATF for example..
This video is 5 mo. old, but I am in the market for something similar and watched other videos. The lever on/off on the top for air comp probably needs to be in closed position when not using air compressor. At least other videos have pointed this out. So does this lever/switch make any difference when pumping manually?
I haven't touched it but I think that would be the case. I'd also say you probably don't want to put too much pressure into it as that could cause issues.
I plan on buying one for my Acura. I've heard horror stories about changing ATF. Did your cars transmission start slipping after you changed it? The ATF in my Acura smells burnt, but not that bad.
If you have never changed the transmission fluid and you have a lot of mileage, it may cause issues. Oftentimes, the lack of changing the fluid damages the transmission, but the grit in the dirty fluid keeps it going. When you change out to new clean fluid, you may have problems because the new fluid doesn't have the grit. It's a catch 22, because you should change it a lot, but if you haven't, the damage done can be masked by the bad fluid. You have to know the risks and do what you think is best for your car under the circumstances. If the fluid is burnt, that isn't a good thing.
Make sure you change the filter in your transmission as well when you’re replacing the fluid.
Definitely on my list of things to do come spring, though I may see what it costs to get it done at the dealership or at a local mechanic.
If my oil is slightly overfilled and i want to use this to take out about 1/2 a quart would i be able to? or once i start pumping does it just keep going without stopping?.
Just pull the hose out of the dipstick hole when you have extracted the amount of oil you want removed.
Absolutely. Once you lift it out of the fluid, it sucks air and you are done. Just remember to check the level to be sure you took out the right amount.
So how is this holding up? I currently own one but it isnt the best. Chris fix is selling one but its 115 bucks. I saw this one was 75.
I've used it 2 more times since and it seems good. I haven't tried the air compressor on it, just the manual pump.
@SeanDIY gotcha, yea I have a air compressor but could use the manual pump with no issues. I want it mainly for brakes.
@@TJsVette I haven't used it for brakes, just oil and transmission fluid.
Don't use it to suck gasoline out of a tank because the gasoline ruined mine. It leaks now.
Great point. Do you have the 4 uncles one? I wouldn't siphon gas at all, but if I did, I'd buy a pump just for that.
@@SeanDIY yes sir I do have the four uncles brand. I needed it to suck gasoline out of a riding lawn mower tank. I didn't see where gasoline was an excluded fluid. Live and learn...
@specialks1953 that makes sense. I've found that gas is terrible on most plastics, so I can see that happening, but I wouldn't have thought of it either. Maybe reach out to them and see if they give you a discount on another one or maybe they will send you one.
