EWK 15 Liter Pneumatic and Manual Oil Changer Vacuum Fluid Extractor Pump Tank Remover

Pulls the oil out with ease, left about 200 mls in my car, I'll accept that. It struggled on my wife's car, the tube would not reach the bottom of the sump but I've used a crap one of these before so I have silicon tube that I attached to the tube that came with the "sucker" It settles in the hot oil into the bottom of the pan, job done. No more fighting on the ground with a sump plug, I'm getting too old for that and I've got four (family) cars to look after.

Dismantled an engine, sucked away oil pools within the engine, sucked away coolant from the heads and then used it to such out all the brake fluid. A great clean way of doing a job. Perfect and a must have item.

I did some research regarding oil extractors before I made this purchase. This comes with a venturi which creates a vacuum from pressure generated from an air compressor. One may also use the manual pump function, if you don't have a compressor (or you could just purchase a compressor, which you can use to inflate tires of all sizes, operate pneumatic tools, spray paint, blow air to clean many things). I was astonished to see how easy and complete the extractor functioned. Assembly took 3 minutes. I used it to extract oil on my Mercedes. Typically, the oil filters on European cars are visible under the hood. I've been driving this car up on ramps for years. But yesterday, I assembled the tool, (note: the main plug through which the oil drains into the extractor and through which one pours the oil into a container for recycling twists on counterclockwise); turned on the compressor, and the oil began to flow. In 5 minutes, I was ready to change the oil filter. Removed the cap from the canister, replaced the filter and o-rings, torqued down the cap, and measured the oil digitally from the dashboard. Done in minutes, with no oil spilled. (I found the oil drain plug location from a Youtube video). Mercedes doesn't really want you to know how easy this is. Mine is black in color, about 3" long and located toward the back of the engine on the passenger side, near where the transmission plug is located and just above the latter, which has a red dot. You can tell that you are extracting oil rather than transmission fluid by its color, smell, and feel. Replace plug, oil filler cap after filling with the appropriate oil. I love this device; I purchased the largest, since I plan to do multiple kids cars without draining. Smaller ones are quite a bit less. Extractor is sturdy, no fear of collapse under vacuum.

Used it for the 1st time to siphon my transmission fluid out. Worked better than I thought. Pros: Nice hoses to siphon from the dip stick Easy to use a few pumps to get it started Got 3 Liters out in about 20 minutes from a small hose Cons: A little hard to read the Liter marks since the plastic container is so thick Have to hold the pump arm back when emptying the container

Worked better than I expected. Sure, it took 5 minutes to get the oil out, but I don't have to go under the car. Very easy to setup. Not sure about other, but with just 5 or 6 manual pumps (Hint, open the oil cap for easy and faster flow), the oils start flowing out and fill the canister without much intervention. Oh, and no messed at all. I also try using the compressor and that the oil flows a little faster. It is already paid for itself on the first oil change. Very easy to empty the used oil from the canister. The canister is a very sturdy.

This is absolutely the best automotive tool I have ever purchased. The only negative to this product is that the hoses are made of a harder plastic and become less malleable at colder temperatures, so be careful not to break them. Perhaps EWK can make a more flexible hose for those conditions. I found it helped to preheat the hoses to eliminate any memory in the bend from packaging. My only regret is that I did not purchase this a decade ago. Oil changes done in under 20 mins without going under the car. Looking forward to doing the other fluids. For those looking for a video review, ChrisFix on Youtube is where I first saw this product, he has a review of this item under his 2023 must have mechanic gifts. Great work EWK on this product, it is exeptional. I recommend to spend the money and get one of these.

Its been a year of vaccum. I use it multiple time at least 100 times for oil change and bleeding brake. The vaccum don't leak and its in great shape !
