Oil extraction is great!

I assume the propane tank is properly labeled "used motor oil".

Actually, it is.

Has anyone tested one on a RAV4 PHEV?

I have not tried it yet however CHAT GPT or chat GTO hahaha ....claims that it will work on the Rav4 hybrid. Pretty sure it will work just fine.

Do you guys run a degreaser to clean it after your done? I heard the bicycle pump bit the seals go bad or something if you don't?


Also anyone do this on a Infiniti or Nissan with a vq37?

Yesterday used HYPER TOUGH ( Walmart ) Multi-Use Hand Held Pump to remove water from the sink and elbow that backed up due to a clog . Used empty 1 gallon jug to pump water into . Taped the hose to the opening . Have used these pumps for coolant , transmission fluid and oil .

Nope. No need. The vacuum pump doesn't pump oil, just evacuates air.
If you're talking about the seals for the canister and caps, no again.

I do after learning the hard way. I have the EWK extractor with a 2 piece hose (flexible metal at the end and clear vinyl at the base) and the oil dissolved the seal between the 2 parts. Luckily they sell the hose separately. I bet if you had something without any seals in the hose, you could get away without cleaning it.
