Omg! I just used this thing on my wife's Mercedes (which is a bitch to drain from the bottom with all of the panels you need to remove) and it took me 1/10 of the time it normally does! Amazing! Thanks for the video. Best $50 I've ever spent 😀
Was this the "new" version, or the original version. As of the end of July 2024, they have two versions, looking very similar. The "new" version is about $5 more.
Yeah our jeep oil filter is on top of the engine. It's so easy do do these oil changes now! I plan on still having a shop do it every third change for inspections and greasing.
I was skeptical about the oil extractor. Now that I've watched your video I'm going to get one. I've always wanted one and now I have to get one because of the ease of use. 1 question, can it drain itself instead of pouring?
I had an issue once where it wasn't extracting oil and it turned out that the hose I was using was a little too big for the dipstick slide. So I used a smaller hose and then everything worked fine. Try using a smaller hose and make sure that it's going all the way to the bottom of the drain pan.
@@sptt144 Strange. I must say though. It worked great. using a air compressor it sucked it out in just a couple min. I have a Jag XF-R and it holds 7.7 quarts of oil and got it all out.
I bought the same extractor. I may not be using it right or I could have a defective unit. Pumping took about 20 minutes for 1L and air compressor did not seem to help create a vacuum either. Ultimately I gave up Any tips? Air compressor setting? looking back I tried the smallest hose which had a pretty bad flow rate. Does the main hose work initially before having to use the smaller one? I really wanted to like extracting oil vs using a lift. Any recommendations are appreciated!
Once I had an issue where it wasn't extracting and it turned out the hose I put into the dipstick tube was too big and stopping before it reached the oil. Also it really helps to warm up the oil. Not hot but warm.
Thank you for an awesome video. Very helpful and detailed. Thanks again :)

No it can only be poured.
Pouring is no big deal though.
Is this a vacuum only or can it be reversed to pump/push fluid as well?
Vacuum only.
Still loving it after several months of use?
Yes for sure. It's been a real $$ saver for me to do my own work.
Is air supposed to come out of the sides of the handle when pumping? Mine will not extract pumping by hand or using a compressor.

@@MidLifeCrisisAdventureshow would you know that?
How has thing held up over time? Any problems at all?
@@loghome7061 I just finished two more oil changes and still works perfectly 😁
Was thinking about getting this, wondering how it has held up?
So far so good. I've done about a dozen oil changes with it now.
Thanks for the video. What's the wire thing with the loop at the end for? Thanks
That's a small soft hose so they put a wire in that one to keep it stiff until it's in place.
I have this and it don't hold all the tubes in the holder.
Mine does

I need this for my truck 🛻
Is this using the usual air outlet from the air compressor, or is it somehow connected to the air intake?
Just a standard air outlet.
@@MidLifeCrisisAdventures Thanks. I can't figure out how that actually works, but am glad to hear it is a that simple.
@@stephencaplan8514The handpump works just as fast. I tried both but the handpump was fine and less noisy.
The hose with the blue clip what’s that one for
Bleeding brake lines.

What air pressure do you use?
If memory serves I think about 75 psi.
