OEM Tools fluid extractor (manual and pneumatic) tool demo and review. Great DIY tool

My mom's Buick Regal needed a oil change. I had always wanted to try out one of these oil pumps, so I bought one. Steve and I finished this job up in no time and were very impressed with the results.

My VW Atlas has a top-mounted oil filter, as well. I have the same fluid extractor you do (had it for a boat I used to own). Glad I didn't get rid of it! Off to change my oil today. Thanks for the quick memory jogger on how to use it.

that cap you took off before putting the main suction line on is supposed to stay on. when you thread it off it pushes the suction line off so you dont yank on the crimped on line.

Are you able to tell me the size of the coupler that you used to connect the air hose to it? Great video

[Beardshire]

This is pretty awesome since I've heard replacing a filter every time isn't needed.

What air compressor would you recommend?

A few things from my experience using these things.

When pulling the oil out of an engine, have a can of brake cleaner and paper towels handy just like you would do when doing an underside oil change. When you pull the suction line out of the dip stick tube, use a paper towel to wipe the exterior of the line clean, just like you would do with a dipstick. Those things are rigid but very flappy and I've had them smack me in the face more than once during handling. Better to be smacked in the face by a clean one than a dirty one.

And keep pulling a vacuum while holding the line facing the sky to let as much oil get pulled down the tube as possible naturally. When you're happy it's gotten most of it out, stick your brake cleaner straw down the line and give it a few squirts to flush the remaining oil down. It will very quickly clean the inside of the line and prevent it from dripping oil during handling.

Silicone grease is your friend with the connectors. It not only helps to get the parts connected, but its viscosity helps to maintain a seal. I grease every connecting part up after cleaning. Not too much because you don't want the silicone itself to make a mess, but enough to keep the seals wet.

Finally, the brake line attachment they come with is a very useful way to flush and bleed brakes for vehicles you cannot pressure bleed. Give it a try when you get used to using the extractor. I found it made the whole process very clean and easy to do with just one person.

Appreciate the video, just received same pump today and this answered all my questions. I have been wanting one for a while as well and hopefully it works for my applications too. Thanks for your time !

Awesome... as info, the dipstick will mark empty once the last quarter id gone... It only measures about 1 inch of oil from top to bottom, the other 2 or 3 inches will not be seen there.

Absolutely great video, i have only used mine one time and figured i would do a refresher because I'm lazy and don't want to read. Lol but i found your video and you did a great job. I am subscribing and hope to see more like that one thank you

[slimgoody]

Thanks for sharing. I got mine in the mail today.

[darranjacobsen]

Nobody has covered how to clean these damn things however

[zxburnz]

How long does just the vacuuming time take?

[kenlittle]

Appreciate the (critical) PSI information. Got the same pump.

[MrShouser]

What is the cap for? I could not use it

[activeej]

Is oem tools and cnc tools the same brand?

[dawkrb]

Shouldn't the compression fitting be tightened at the top? I see it's hanging on the hose.

[jonyjonsy]

Is that hooked up to a normal air compressor? Or does it need a vacuum pump?
