Oil extraction tool, 2023 version?

[michael007]

Just ordered a pretty cool DIY extractor from China which lets you use your own power tools. Will test it on the HR-V dip stick hole and an M12 1/2" stubby once it arrives in about a month.

$16 before shipping if you can believe it for everything that's needed (pump head, connections, adapters, 2.4 metres of high temperature tubing)

Nifty! Now, if we put a filter on it will flow be restricted? Does the filter need a built-in bypass?

Problem is it's only sold domestically in China. Their market is large enough that most sellers don't bother with overseas sales so you need to use a buying agent.

CSSBuy is who I use - they take Paypal and have been reliable but you can research others on Google as there are many (search for Taobao buying agents).

I'll post an ordering guide along with the exact costs once it's received.

No info about that but they do say this

Here is the spec sheet, there are two models. I got the less expensive one as it seems plenty fast - should only take about a minute for the HR-V sump.

I am using a MITYVAC 7400 for my Challenger and wife’s Equinox.
I bought the extra tube kit for different lengths also.
When I had a Taurus , I changed the Transmission fluid and power steering fluid also, with it.
And the lawnmower oil.

Even if it ends up not being practical for oil changes, that $16 Chinese pump looks like a fun toy

I think it's highly variable from one application to the next, just depending on the design and layout of the sump. I've seen videos where, with certain vehicles, the extraction method leaves a quart or more oil in the sump.

Works great on my Honda CRV doesn't work at all on my sister's Subaru

The pela seems stout, the cheapies have UV and degradation issues.

There is another brand that has tube storage built in which is my only annoyance with the mityvac.

Those frickin tubes drive me crazy.

Those frickin tubes drive me crazy.

I bought a extra tube kit from Home Depot
I keep my tubes for each car in a large trash bag
Then put them in a plastic storage box.
They are kinda springy at first, it's like wrestling a snake.
