Oil Extractor

You can find them cheaper. You can get a little electric pump for like $20. I used an elctric deal for my trans fluid. One end went into the trans and the other into a bucket. The job went nice and fast.
 
I picked one up from TheToolwharehouse.com a lot less than Griots, damn near identical. I use to change my oil, i can do an oil change in a white shirt with that thing. I alternate each other change I use the plug just in case there are any solids not being extracted. So far im amazed how much oil it gets out, as good or better than the plug believe it or not.



Handy for a number of uses. I bet BillD will chime in, it was his post that prompted me to buy. I would highly recomend buying one, just not at griots
 
So if I was to use the extractor for an antifreeze/coolant change, I am assuming I would stick it into the radiator and extract?
 
Hi guys,



This extractor is one of my most favorite tools, second only to the polishers . It makes oil, trans fluid and coolant (out of the recovery bottle) SO much easier. I even ordered seperate tubes from the factory for use with one kind of fluid only.



I got mine from Overtons.com but I think they may no longer carry it. I believe several other online vendors do sell it. Go for it, I really think you will like it :up

Falcon Guy,



LOL,same here, I had to throw out many work shirts in the past due to oil seepage. Now I probably could change the oil in my "Sunday's best" in a pinch :D



Corey,



Absolutely, my first change on the Audi required me to get under the car ,hopefully next time not since this time the filter is not bolted on with an air gun this time :rolleyes. There's no doubt it makes extracting and disposing of oil extremely easier :xyxthumbs
 
I've been considering getting one of these myself, but was always wondering if the extraction tube would fit in place of the oil dipstick. It seems that nothing thicker than a piece of wire could fit in there. Has anyone had any problems "sticking it in there" or extracting all of oil ?
 
fits in My BMW and my Gf's Honda. The Tool Warhouse model and im sure the others, come with two sizes of tubing for different applications.
 
Lots of TDI guys use it because on new TDI's, the oil filter is a spin on, accessible from the top.



My TDI has the older type spin on, but still, sucking it out is still better than with gravity.



Sucking it often removes more oil because it creates a vacuum inside the oil pan. Neat.



Most boat house will have Pela's.



Here in Quebec, I can get a Pela 6000 (6 litres reservoir) for about 50CAD plus tax.:xyxthumbs ;)
 
When I get a veh. that I can change the filter (trans. & oil) from the top then I'll consider the extractor.

Or maby I just like laying under the car..I dun-know.....
 
I got the cheapest one from tool warhouse, my only regret is not getting one that pumps the oil out of the extractor. I must pour it out, still easy but pumping it out would be so much better. They next model up does pump out.
 
I have been thinking of adding one of these to my tool kit.

I read somewhere that a few models of vehicles are not compatible (the list wasn't very long).



Has anyone purchase the brake bleeding kit with theirs?

I would like to extract oil AND bleed the brakes.



The mityvac 07300 (air operated) does both or you can buy the extra brake kit and add it to a pump model.
