This actually worked really well for removing old oil in my push mower. Instructions could be better. Like it says to clean and I got most of it out but there is still a little I couldn't get out of it besides that really worked well for me. Quality also seems pretty good too

This is an absolute necessity when changing out multiple type of fluids in any automotive do it yourself, on a budget project. I purchased the large 500 cc because I am working on my Ford F150. And the large 500 cc did a phenomenal job. In removing power steering fluid, engine coolant, transfer case oil, some transmission fluid. It even handled the heavyweight 80w90 gear oil!! It’s like compact and inexpensive and does the job that I need to do! And the leakage that a few people complain about it’s only the amount of fluid that comes out of the tube, not the syringe itself. And using this tool is as simple as anything else. And clean up is a breeze just wipe it up maybe use a little brake parts cleaner and you’re done put it away for the next time. Amazing tool!! SEMPER FI

I just did a rear differential oil change on my 350z and this fluid extractor pump worked flawlessly. Its 200Cc so it took some effort pushing the fluid in on a full fill and in a tight spot but otherwise smooth. The entire plunger comes out so it is easy cleaning and drying for the next use - it looks like it will last a long time. Appreciate the extras like another rigid tube section and flexible tube which can be joined together with the rubber coupler and extra o-rings for the plunger. Easy attachment and good seal to the pump. Fluid in the syringe will drip out but there is a cap to put on the the tube to prevent leaking with fluid in the syringe. Overall 5 stars and great deal and great value. I'm thinking this will be useful on other fluid reservoirs on my cars too and planning to use it.

My uses for this are mostly automotive service. Vacuum extraction is a good method for changing fluids in many cases because it is effective in many cases and is generally neater than draining because it is more controlled. This extractor/pump is definitely handy in an automotive situation, good for small volumes like brake fluid and power-steering fluid. You'll need something bigger for engine oil or transmission fluid.The quality of this unit is high, excellent moldings, good materials, excellent design, overall tight fit and finish. The biggest problem is cleaning it after using. Depending on what you use it for and how often, you might not bother with that. If I was using it every day in service bay for extraction of used fluids I don't think I would clean it. But for me it's going to sit on the shelf for months between uses so I like to keep it clean. For this reason I use vacuum extraction when I can so that the air pump doesn't need to be cleaned and the receiver container and tubes are the only cleaning problem.This can also be used for putting new fluid in, although the cleanliness standards are higher in that case. Gear oil would be the case I could think of since you're often pushing that uphill, but I think I'd use something different for that, like just a tube stuck onto the gear-oil bottle spout.

Works well - but starting piston movement needs great care and strength. When you pull back on the piston, there is a lot of friction at the bottom of the stroke.. When it breaks free from the friction, it is difficult to keep the tube in the correct position in the oil sump.

Bought for CVT fluid change and worked great. Initial piston stroke at the bottom is a little difficult but once it breaks free it was smooth drawing fluid out.The problem came when I went to try and clean it the next day. The piston was stuck in place and it looked like the leftover fluid and the orings were making a strong vacuum.Managed to finally break it free after pouring some rubbing alcohol down the spout to rinse the leftover fluid out. The piston o rings still look smooth and drawing up some soap water to clean theres no leaks.Bottom line worked great overall, just might need cleaning shortly after use?
