Don't change engine oil like this!!
in this video i will be showing you drain oil vs suction pump, which one better and which one will give you complete oil drain

[stephensmyth]

If you leave it longer and have the hose in the right position it will get all the oil. I think it was HumbleMechanic who proved it on his channel.

[thirdarc]

...why not? Who the hell cares about a few dozen ml of extra oil left? Changing oil regularly will be substantially more beneficial than that extra cup of oil...

Depends on the design of the oil pan. Several cars get more oil out this way. Plus that little bit of oil won't matter if you have a proper filter and change your oil on time.

Honestly you say don't change your oil like this, but for a diy-er that's the best way . And they don't have to worry about someone screwing them over.

I always make sure the engine is hot first, or at least very warm, then check the oil level before I start, that way I know how much oil I should have in the can when I've finished the change and know it's all out.

I also use it to change gearbox and axle oil's, brilliant for European Fords with no drain plugs and PAS reservoirs. I also have a smaller unit I use to bleed brakes and fluid flushes.

I've been using electric and vacuum pumps for twenty five years without any problems.

Tested sucking out the oil on my pro master. It gets more out than the drain plug will and I can do it all from up top and the oil filter is also up top. Pulled the plug after and not one drop came out.

[aaronjackson]

That's also how outboard motors get their oil changed, completely normal and harmless to the engines & I've done it before.

[robertham]

I'm no fluid expert, but odds of that small amount of oil between the two lines at the end probably doesn't contaminate the clean oil much at all. When they want to charge 85 for a simple oil change, I'd go this route for a couple rounds and then bring it in.

This would be really handy for pulling fluid out of differentials when you don’t want to pull the cover :)

I have a vacuum suction pump for oil changes. Checked several vehicles out of curiosity to see how much it had missed in the sump. In all cases there was next to nothing missed

[pcolapaddler]

I was a marine tech for about 10 years in the late 70s/early80s. We had a stop made rig that used a Bendix electric fuel pump and a stainless reservoir. There is no telling how many gallons of oil I changed with that thing. Pumping oil through the dipstick tube was about the only way to change oil in many inboard and i/o engines.

I made a rig similar to the one here with an empty jug and a hand vacuum pump. It worked great on removing most of some nasty stuff from an automatic transmission.

[mikethespike]

I've always done my oil changes, since like forever (10 vehicles) like this and never had any issues. Up till half a litre of old oil left in the oil pan won't matter. And if you're concerned about that, just change the oil slightly earlier.

[alexsavon]

yeah doing oilchange while oil is so cold & viscous is genius

[hermanpeters]

Some Audi this is the only way to change oil

[cdong]

Those soft vinyl or neoprene tubing do not always stay straight down when they reach the bottom of the oil pan and thus not able to pull the rest of the oil out. Try using a stiffer polyethylene tubing instead next time. FYI, polyethylene tubing usually comes coiled up. You will need to straighten the portion that goes into the oil pan first with a heat gun.

[DHH]

Need a better pump or more sturdy hose to reach the bottom of the pan. This method definitely works great for vehicles with filters on top of the engine. If the filters underneath the car you might as well drain it normally though

[brianconner]

I learned it's also better to drive the vehicle for about 20 miles just before changing the oil, that way it's not only hot, but more contaminants come out, and you get most of the oil out!!

[vtecchair]

Id already have the new filter on and fresh oil in before that pump is even done sucking, would be handy for trans fluid though.

[nigeldlm]

Iv a discovery, also most turbo cars have an oil cooler so there's always oil left over ! My one of those pumps gets 99% o just change the oil every 5k and filter once a year this more than makes up for anything left over ! Also I save nearly £50 labour and oil price is about £20 and filter £6.50 and I don't have to take a big rock plate off !

[mpmike]

I have a VW and I use a manual extractor and it gets 100% of the oil out. I make sure engine is warm before doing it. I’ve extracted it and then opened the drain plug only to get a few drops, most European manufacturers recommend to extract oil.
