Definitely heed the advice he gives on not having oil too hot. I did this once, pushed the tube down into the oil pan, and the tube turned the corner, melted enough to kink and was stuck in place. I had to drop the oil pan to get it out. Longest oil change ever.
Dang man! I can only imagine
@@skrrtgarage3922 how long should I warm the car to prevent any melting
Mityvac should be paying you a royalty for this video. Great instructions presented clearly and professionally. Especially about cleaning and the importance of warm oil
Hi! Thank you for producing this excellent video. You did great job keeping your shirt clean during oil change :-) . Great tips. I have a couple tips of my own after using the mitivac myself you probably know already. 1) warm up the engine, but do not let it get too hot, or let it cool down as the manual says "Do not extract oil when temperature is above 176 °F (80 °C)." A thermometer on dipstick right after pulling it out might be usefula 2) after inserting the tube at right spot, you could use a sharpie (permanent) or tape (temporary), and mark the tube then next time you know exactly how far to go with your vehicle. 3) if you open the engine fill cap that will allow air from top you could make the suction go faster. 4) put a rag/towels around the bottom of the filter, to keep drips from going down onto engine. 5) after sucking up all the oil leave the line connected to the mitivac and uses a closepin or similar and hang it high - this allows the residual oil on the line to drip down into the mitivac. Good luck with your channel and keep up the good work/content!
Great advise, thank you!
I'm more impressed on how he kept that white shirt of his oil free!
Thanks!
Love the Uzi instrumental. Perfect background music 👌🏼
Thank you 🙌
good demo and especially the points at the end. Well done
Very informative. I will use this method from now on. Thanks
Finally someone tells you how to clean it out!
Fantastic review and very much appreciated. You're a great guy.
Thanks!
@@skrrtgarage3922 thanks again Connor. I bought one yesterday and did my oil change and the whole process was a total breeze.
Thanks for the video man @Skrrt. I don't have the same exact pump, but it was similar enough and it was the same car that I did it myself. Also not sure why your pump is so slow, but mine pumped all the oil out in about 5 minutes or less. Saved myself over $150 on an oil change and the hours of waiting for my car back. I also put away the pump without cleaning it then watched the end of this video and ran back asap to go clean it out. Thanks!!
Right on! I don’t pump mine with a ton of pressure to (in theory) protect the seals. Thanks for the comment!
Your cleaning tips are much appreciated. I bought mine for a transmission and differential oil change. When I change the diff oil, I’ll need to extract with mityvac and then use it to pump the fresh oil in.
Right on, thanks for the comment
Thank you very much was very helpful
Thanks for the comment!
Thanks l bought one just like this one l have a 2019 Ford Mustang gt this my first oil change
Pretty good presentation and tips but I didn’t you pre-lube the oil filter seal before installing it.
I have had my Mityvac since 2007 and never had any issues with it. I always empty it after use, by just reversing the valve direction and pumping the old oil into the same oil jug that I just poured in the engine. Never had any issues or leaks, maybe because I don't let any oil touch the seals.
That’s smart! Taking care of the seals is really important for long term use
Great presentation, I especially like the maintenance tips at the end of the video. I was wondering how you would go about cleaning the oil from those tubes. Thanks for sharing your expertise and experience, 👍👍
I appreciate that! Thank you for the comment
I have an extractor myself. The unit I bought has both a hand pump as well as the air chuck so you can extract fluids using pneumatic vacuum without all the hand pumping. To clean the hoses, hold the tip up with your finger on the end of the open tube, apply a good amount of suction with the extractor and then just remove your finger a few times. The suction will draw almost the liquid residue in after a few suction cycles. This process is much easier on the pneumatic pumps, as you could imagine.
Skrrt Garage Thank you for subscribing and for the kind words! I’ve been watching your videos because you are the only other F-Type owner sharing so much about these amazing cars. Like the C63 V8 being the “German Muscle Car” I truly believe the F-Type R-SVR is going down in the history books as the greatest “English Muscle Car” of all time.
I 100% agree with that, it looks timeless and was basically the first car company to engineer those crazy burbles/cracks. I feel like it started that whole trend in 2014
Haha thanks man! Didn’t want to read the instructions!
I got you!
Any tips for failure to suck properly? I have a version of this with the venturi valve where you can hook it up to your air compressor. Originally that used to work great, now it doesnt seem to be able to pull much. If I try to use the vacuum method and manually vacuum with the plunger, I do get much better suction but it's still also slow. As in I regret using this vs doing it the traditional way. I've only pulled 2 liters in about a half hour.
hahahaha 8:40 the wife's duck walk was hilarious.
I have the MityVac 7300 which one hooks up to an air compressor for constant suction. In my experience it works a lot better than the hand pump MityVac.
God works in mysterious ways. Dude.... your oil change method is so clean and biblical. Keep up the good work...
Thanks!!
How do you know when the oil is done extracting? Also what is that long wrench and how do you know when it's at 22 ft-lbs?
Hey great vid, I got a question, I use multigrade oil, 20w-50, won't the oil get thicker and harder on the tool to extract if the oil's all warmed up?
Oil is easier to extract when hot. Think of syrup. In the fridge it barely moves, if you put the syrup in the microwave is flows like water. 👍🏼
How do you clean it? Especially the hoses?
Enjoyed the video, how do you removed the larger tube from the fitting on the tank?
I’m not sure I understand what your saying, most of the connections are just plug ins
I was gonna ask the same question. It doesn’t seem to want to come out. The little blue seal holds it in pretty tight, I don’t want to force it out.
@@AD-ds3sd I figured it out. You will want to hold the blue ring in while pulling the tube out. You might want to use a plier on the tube to pull it as it can be tough. Pushing the blue ring prevent the metal teeth from digging into the tube as you pull it out.
@@kkcapcom2 awesome thanks!!! I really didn’t want to go crazy with it and break it in the process 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
They are called John Guest fittings. Lots of UA-cams illustrate how to change them.
Is it only for top loaded oil filter cars?
How long did it take to drain the oil?
Critical part that you overlooked is not wanting to "dry start" the engine. When you insert the new oil filter, pour lots of new oil over it to saturate it and have as much oil in that section so the engine isn't running w/o oil for a couple of seconds as it works its way through new filter material.
Underrated comment!
That's false information. It's been proven that isn't necessary.
Hi, Do you still like this method of draining oil? Did you ever try to change transmission fluid from the top of the car with the pump? Thanks
Yea, if you change your oil often enough then it’s a great way 👍🏼
I actually tried this exact vac last night. While it seems to work as intended it does take a very long time. Took almost 40 min vaccum suck this fluid out.
I remember thinking it took a little longer than I was expecting but not 40min, was the engine oil warm?
No need for the ratchet extension when removing filter housing. It’s much less awkward without.
How much oil left in sump
i take it this does not work on 2016 Chevy Cruzes? Inserted smaller tube into dipstick and pumped approx 20 times and didn't get a drop of oil. Not even in the line. It was in evacuate mode.
Does it have adapters? My vehicle has a built in system for oil changes so this mity vac tube would have to go over the tube in the car
Yea I believe it does, my jaguar f type also had a tube that goes down into the sump.
If you use this pump for an extractor only, do you have to clean it? Does leaving oil residue in it cause breakdown of the plastic or vinyl tubing or seals?
Yea, you 100% have to clean it every time.
muy mal antes de empezar a sacar el aceite tienes que quitar el tapon por donde se hecha el aceite.para que entre aire y aspire mejor el aceite del carter.
Im thinking this or an electric 12V one since I already have an oil drain pan.
Yea wouldn’t hurt 👍🏼
measure dipstick. and apply the measurement on tube
How long do you have to warm the engine up before extracting it out thanks!
3-5minutes should be enough
How do you get the plastic hoses to go all the way down around the bend at the bottom before reaching the oil pan without breaking it.
The smallest hose is pretty flexible, you might be at the bottom of the oil pan and not realize it
@@skrrtgarage3922 I checked the hose for oil and was dry, i tried both hoses and once i insert about all the way it feels like it hits a blockage right before hitting oil pan.
If you want to be certain, extract the oil, then jack the car, remove the drain plug, and see how much more oil comes out. Of course, you only need to do this once. Another thing: You never get every single drop out when you do an oil change, no matter what. Don’t sweat the last half a cup or whatever.
I thought the problem with these was that they don’t get sediment out of the bottom of the oil pan?
They do a pretty good job, you can alternate every couple oil changes also
I hate mine. Had 3, and all 3 were crap. None would hold suction. I'd pump 10-12 times. As soon as I stopped, I'd get maybe 3-5 seconds of pull flow them out drops off and I have to pump again. Making me essentially henge to constantly pump it. Took about 20 minutes to get the oil out of my a5 and my a7, 7qts each.
Yea I’ve heard people have had bad luck with these, sorry about that. Mine has been great (knock on wood)
Nothing beats the natural way
FAILED ...literally after 1.5 oil changes on a babied and always garaged Benz owned since new and mostly always dealer serviced. Worked this stuuuupid, time-wasting unit in the most by-the-book pedantic and meticulous way imaginable (with professional tools and previous wrenching experience on cars and motorcycles to boot). Had to abort the second oil change right in the middle of it after having extracted just 3 liters (3.17 U.S. Quart's) due to the pump or seal failing, hence the "1.5 oil changes" comment. Checked all fittings and fasteners -- Nada! And am NOT about to waste even more life-cycles trying dissect and trouble shoot this disaster. Hoooorribly slow, hoooorribly laborious, and hoooorribly poor quality. A total joke ...and the joke has been on many of us consumers. Stay away - stay away - STAY AWAY! from this poorly made and poorly thought out "product" made you-know-where. And then they have the gall to state "quality controlled in the U.S.A." Yeah, my foot! 🙄 There - I paid it forward. Happy wrenching!
Question - I just bought this and for some reason the main tube (biggest one connected directly to the mityvac) is not coming out. I want to take the tube off to store but it's stuck. Do you have this problem? Im yanking on it and it doesnt seem to come off. I dont want to break it so wanted to stop by and ask you. Thanks in advance
Sorry just seeing this. Yes, the way to get it off is by pressing around the blue orifice. It's a friction fit, so you have to press in on it while you pull the tube out. Hope that helps!
@@skrrtgarage3922 no worries, and roger that! Thank you 👍👍
How do u hook up the pneumatic feature? I was not aware this unit can hook into an air compressor.
There is a hose from the vacuum pump to the reservoir, I believe it is connected there.
@@skrrtgarage3922 NO Pneumatic (via compressor connection) capability on this model, it is manual only
Where is this made? (Country)
You are not a one quarter of oil short? I saw you fill with the 5 quarts only.
I measured the oil level at the end and it was perfect. 👍🏼
How often do you change oil?
About every 5k miles
A level starting point is not truly necessary. The oil pan is essentially the lowest part of the car or truck, and will always move oil to its lowest point, allowing you to extract 99% of it.
Yea that’s true, but it messes up the fill portion when the cars computer is trying to figure out how much oil you have in there
Good stuff - but couldn’t help notice you wear gloves / take them off at weird times and wearing a white dress shirt changing oil is funny.
The white shirt is to demonstrate how clean the process is with this extractor. 😉
Would this work for a 2001 chevy s10
Yea it would work on any car with a dip stick
@@skrrtgarage3922 thanks for the reply. I need one BAD and was worried because my dipstick is incredibly long lolol
Don't even nother trying an oil extractor if you plan on using it on a ford ranger. The dip stick tube is not in the deepest part of the pan and will leave half of the oil behind. Totally bummed out.
"Mighty Vac"..
Is this capable for the F type?
It would be perfect for it!
@@skrrtgarage3922 But F type doesnt seems to have a dipstick... So where we suppose to put the hose? Nice video btw, thanks for sharing!
Toward the end of the video, I showed under the fuel cap of the f type, it has a little nipple made for the extractor to latch onto. No problem!
I just made a video about changing oil on the F-Type using the mityvac
That’s awesome! I did a “normal” change on mine a few months back and I wish I had the mityvac
My 10 liter Cummins is laughing...
Will have to take two trips
autozone recycles the oil that customers bring in, so the cleaning solution of Dawn and water contaminated the the rest of the oil in the recycling container at autozone. why don't you do everyone a favor and just pay someone to change your oil.your doing more harm than good.
" Valvoline's oil recycling uses the same refining processes used for crude oil refining, including hydro-treating and distillation techniques to remove contaminants and used-up additives. The process results in recycled base oils that can have the same quality and performance as base oils made from virgin crude.Mar 22, 2011" Hydro means water, so it sounds like water is used in the initial process of refining oil and the recycling of it.
I don’t know???what are you gonna do about the filter???you can’t pump that out and pump a new one back in,,,you’ll still have to jack up the car and get up underneath of it so what’s the point???
Filter is on top
@@skrrtgarage3922 I have a Toyota Tacoma and mine is on the bottom
Yea, most American/Japanese cars the filter is on the bottom.
You change your filter every oil change? Hahaha ha amateur, don't get me wrong I'm one lazy fuck! I wrench every day with multiple cars at once so the less I have to do the better ! That puppy is a hell of a tool !
@@william38022 I find that most bottom oil filters are in the front of car, so I still don't have to jack it up to reach it.
whos the blonde?

You didn't show the draining of the oil from the extractor to container
So
Thumbs down
Tremendous
