6L Manual Oil Etractor

Provides good sealing for the vacuum operated pump which pulls the used oil up the tube and into the collection bottle. Process is a little slow as the tube has to be small to snake down the dipstick tube. I drive around 5000 miles a year so i change the oil every 6-7 months at around 3500 miles. I replace the filter every other oil change and this setup works perfect for that.

This thing is almost perfect. I fired up the car and let it idle until the oil filter was warm, then went about the deed. The dip tube is much longer than needed for my Subaru, but has a hand "stop" on it that can be adjusted to be dipstick length. Pumping is easy and the old oil flowed out pretty quickly. When it was done I gently pushed the tube in a bit further and retrieved more oil. Note to self: do this on every use. Added new oil. Once the oil was in the device I put on the pour spout, got a funnel, and started pouring into the now-empty oil container. Taking off the pump helped the pour to proceed more quickly. I got out more than the 5 quarts I put in, so added a bit more to the car using a single quart of oil (per the manufacturer's instructions. New filter and we are done. I saved the cost of the pump by doing this one time. When I do the wife's care we will already be ahead. I'd like to have a spare rubber cap for the spout, but otherwise this was simple to use and did the job. No mess to clean up either.

This pump is 100% worth it. Made changing the oil in a 2019 Volkswagen Beetle a breeze. The car holds 6 quarts and it pulled out at least 5.9 quarts (5.6 liters). As long as you have a good seal on everything, it pulls it out pretty quickly. I thought it was going sort of slow until I realized the rubber washer on the hose didn’t have an air tight seal to the reservoir and was leaking a little air. After fixing that, it worked like a charm. You likely will have to pump it a few times throughout to keep the pressure up but it maybe took 10-15 minutes. After that I moved the hose around a bit and pumped out maybe another 0.1 liter or so. I only have one minor complaint, which is that I wish the reservoir had a cap too instead of just a spout, but that’s it. This thing is great, worth every penny.

I like to change my own oil and I can not lie Purchased this for several potential reasons and one pressing reason, I recently put a built engine in my forester and had to use a non-standard oil pan to make it work, which changed the oil capacity and thusly also affected how the dipstick reads The combo reduced oil capacity a little, so based on prior habit I over filled it ..... twice ;( So after acquiring a corrected dipstick ... The EWK 6L Oil Extractor made correcting the over fill exceedingly easy, the first time I drained and refilled, the second time I just walked out in my garage early in the morning, yawning with a cup of coffee in hand, opened the box and had the extractor correcting the over fill in about a minute, I didn't even warm the car up. You can tell by how much pressure you apply to the vacuum pump whether or not the viscosity is too much or not, it told me about it but didn't complain at all, a minute later we were good to go The next day I pulled the Tacoma in the garage and drained the oil while standing, it was worth the cost of admission right there. I still crawled under it afterwards, pulled the plug and changed the filter, but having it drained first removed enough drama that I'm a fan of extracting after only 2 dates Going forward I have an extractor for whenever it's needed, a good add to the tool box, works well, recommended

This is the first vacuum extractor I've tried, choosing this unit based on the high positive reviews. It does the job nicely, but there are a few things that you need to know if you're going to use it for a variety of jobs. 1) it is not very good at removing thick fluids like a heavy hydraulic oil. You can pump all you want and it just flows very slowly. My first job for this is to remove hydraulic fluid from a bulk tank, and I don't know the specific viscosity, although it kinda reminds me of a 50 weight or heavier. I had to mix in some kerosene to get it to flow out with any kind of speed. They do not state what the useful viscosity range is, but I would say anything higher than 40 weight or 50 weight (especially if it's cold) are a no-go limit on this. On something like 5W or 0W synthetics in car engines, I would expect this to work great, especially if you do the oil extraction when the oil is warm / hot (as you should). 2) It sure would be nice to have a valve at the end of the clear plastic tube so that you could create the vacuum in the vessel first, and then go extract your oil with your hands free to position the tip of the wand where you want it. When you pump it, you need one foot at least on the base of the canister and one hand on the pump. This is of no consequence for engine oil changes where the tube is stationary, but I can envision so many other uses for this "fluid vacuum cleaner" that it would be great to pump it down and then be able to use the wand intermittently to clean out tank corners, etc. As it is built, if you pull the probe out of the fluid, most of the vacuum is lost unless you're real fast. A valve would make this awesome. 3) I did not get a gasket for the spout, so every time you go to empty the pot, it dribbles fluid all down the side of it, so you end up using a bunch of paper towels every time it gets emptied. And the spout and its threads are coated with whatever your fluid is, so it dribbles all over my bench. I don't think it woulda killed the manufacturer to give me a gasket like the one that is in the pump. I'll have to get one from a supply house like McMaster. So I take away one star for having to correct something the OEM should have thought of. I'll be keeping this for a long time, super useful on the right fluids, and priced right. With a few mods, it'll be even more useful.

Excellent product this is my second one I own very easy to use quick oil changes without the mess

This is a great product. It makes changing oil very easy and easy to send off used oil for recycling. First time I must have pushed the drain suction hose too far in and inside the tank it curled up a bit so I only got 2 liters out. I pulled the hose further back and it was able to pull all 4+ liters out. A first time error. Now I know where to slide the tube ball marker so as to not do this again. Better to DIY your own Oil Changes. There is no reason to pay someone to do a simple oil change ever again.

Purchased this for my dad, he found it easy to use does the job needed

This device worked well to suck out the extra oil put in the car's engine through the dipstick tube.

If your transmission pan doesn't have a drain plug, get you one of these.
