I bought a Mityvac 7400 fluid extractor to use for various fluid extractions. I used it for the first time yesterday to do an oil change on my daughter's '92 Camry 4 cyl. Thought it would save me some time and make the winter change easier (garage floor all wet from snow, cold, etc.). Not sure if I was doing things right, but it took a loooong time to suck out all of the oil. I had to pump that thing for 15-20 minutes! I spent some of that time fiddling with how far the tube was inserted into the dip stick hole.
Has anyone else used an extractor and found similar results? I was under the impression that it would take maybe 5 minutes and that the amount of pumping would be minimal.
