I tried out my Flo N Go vacuum extractor. I bought it at Canadian Tire a while back. It has a thick plastic jug that doesn't collapse, and two plastic lines. One line runs to my shop vac and comes with the adapter to hook up to the hose. The other line is a 3/8 inch OD plastic line ( I bought a 10 ft piece) that is placed into the fluid to extract. I got this brainy idea to freshen up my transmission fluid so I put the 3/8 line down the fill tube of my 2000 Winter Beater Ford Taurus. In a rather eerie way it started pulling the reddish brown fluid out sort of like giving blood. I pulled out 6-1/2 liters and it started sucking air. It took about 20 minutes. I then measured the fluid, put in 6-1/2 liters of Mercon V and checked the fluid with the engine hot and running. Worked fine. Yes, I know I did not get to replace the filter or clean the magnet and yes there is still another 7 liters in the engine.
Here are some shots. Enjoy.
