    Perfect Chris, if one is worried about having half a cup of dirty oil left in the engine, you can add some clean oil and suck it up along with the dirty one until it looks clean.

    Hey Chris, absolutely brilliant work! As the "vacuum pump" is actually a fridge compressor, it has its own oil inside that must be kept otherwise the unit will fail... that compressor oil produces microdroplets that go out the air exhaust port. I would suggest you add an "oil trap" at the exhaust to capture the oil that will then trickle back in the compressor. I personnally use steel wool or a polyethylene fiber bundle inside some odd transparent container. Be careful of the type of pipe you use to joint it to the exhaust as compressor oil is often a very light ester based lubricant (not exactly "oil" per se) that will leak through most pressure-fit joints. Messy .... Cheers!
    Edit: the oil trap will also catch compressor oil in case the "thingy" accidentally falls on its side... you never know... ;]

      @WhiteOak09 2 роки тому +4

      I was wondering about that because I've fooled around with one out of a dehumidifier and it blowed that stinky oil all over my basement on to me and my son but how much oil do they hold and can you put in to much and where can you get this type of oil , thanks.

    • @jean-clauderainville677
      @jean-clauderainville677 2 роки тому +5

      @@WhiteOak09 If I remember correctly you can find it on the 'net, check out "compressor oil" but in my experience, even a lighter sewing oil type fluid works. It has to be light and not hygroscopic since pulling humidity from the air will rust the compressor components. For the "trap", I used plastic water bottles at first but if the exhaust gets warm, it gets messy. Better use something that is a bit sturdier since it has to hold itself at the top of the exhaust pipe...and that pipe must go directly down in the compressor, don't leave loops that can trap fluid...and blow it all-over the place.
      Edit: if you plan on pumping humid air or steamy gases, you need tu put a cold trap *before* the compressor as any vapor will condense below the oil and rust the components. It will simply stop running if it seizes.

    • @chrisnotap
      @chrisnotap  2 роки тому +9

      Correct. I pointed the exhaust pipe upwards and the oil seems to stay in the pipe and not come out and it trickles back into the pump. Yes eventually it will fail but it can take quite a long amount of running time for this to happen.

      @@chrisnotap It's mostly the smell and oil mist that bothers me 🤢 I run my 1500watt unit for hours to circulate an electrolytic solution trough a filter and as the wretched thing reaches 55°C, the vapors in the lab are horrible. The trap reduces that to almost nothing. Now, if I could only reduce the noise and vibration all would be dandy... ;]

    I think it is a wonderful project but I purchased a Mityvac Fluid Extractor for $100 that handles all my oil extraction needs. It worked straight out of the box. I am not sure based on today’s prices that the parts required to build an extractor are much less than the Mityvac. That said I do love your project.

  • @shanequinn8356
    @shanequinn8356 9 місяців тому +3

    Hi Chris, absolutely brilliant how you cover every little thing. My preference is to drain hot as oil holds particles in suspension up to 28 micron as all oils filters are that grade. The quicker oil gushes out the more of the particles flow out with it. This speeds the pump out flow but that heat may allow the tube to bend again and not remain at the bottom🤔 What's REALLY great about your suction drain is not lifting the car, or scraping front moulding as you drive on the ramps, most of all not having to remove the big engine undercover. This arduous task is required to swap the oil filter on many engines though. Thanks again.

      @dchall8 Рік тому +1

      I used to be in the jet engine business in the USAF, and learned a bit about oil systems as part of the job. The AF uses only synthetic oils, and they test them periodically to see if they have become contaminated. If the oil is contaminated beyond a certain limit they like to filter the metals out of the oil and reuse it (because it is synthetic). I think you can get away with reusing the same filter for 1 or 2 oil changes and take it to an oil change place (or DIY) every 3rd time. For me that would save $150 per vehicle.

    When I bought my old Ford truck, the owner had put in a 427 stroker motor. The issue is that the oil pan drain plug is above a cross member, making oil changes a royal pain. He purchased a commercial unit very similar to your design (but I like yours way better). The issue is that not all oil pans have clear entry to the bottom from the dipstick hole. I reckon I got 85% of the old oil out this way, and while it's probably good enough - as long as I change it often - I don't like that it isn't all new oil.
    I most likely will get a drain plug that has a fitting on the end to route around the frame, and use that along with the pump.
    We used a small home compressor, and it did take a long time, as well as the issue we had placing the tube in "just the right spot" to get as much as we could.
    Thanks for a great video. This one gets two 👍🏼👍🏼

    A guess this is for guys who just want to make their own stuff. It's a lot of work for a gadget you can buy for a couple of bucks on eBay or Amazon. The bit about straightening the tubing that goes into the dipstick entrance is a good idea. I've noticed with my efforts that the tube tends to curl up in the engine and miss the oil.
    Once you've figured out how to suck the engine oil yourself you don't want to go back to doing it the old way. This is faster, cleaner and you save sheds of money.

    • @chrisnotap

      Any particles in the oil will settle at the bottom of the pan and really not move anywhere. The particles are very small, metal, and have a bit of weight to them. Whether you suck out the oil or drain it from the drain plug doesn't really change things.
