EWK 6.5L Pneumatic/Manual Oil Extractor, Oil Change Pump for Automotive Fluids Vacuum Evacuation, Fluid Extractor Pump Tool for DIY Mechanics

Great shipping and nice package. The EWK 6.5L Pneumatic/Manual Oil Extractor worked very good. First time I have ever used an oil extractor on a vehicle for a oil change. I started my engine and let it idle for about 5 minutes and then turned it off. The old oil 5W-20 wasn't hot not even very warm when I finished the oil change, the outside temp was 44 degrees F. Per instructions, I attached the main tube to the canister first. Remove the plastic inlet plug cap for the main tube. Notice the main tube connector cap has two little L shape clips to lock on to the canister inlet opening, they have to be lined up then twist to lock on for sealing closed. This has nothing to do with the air hose connector, I didn't use that feature. Remove oil dipstick from vehicle and check which hose extension will fit inside dipstick tube on vehicle. Connect that extension tube to the Main tube which is connected to the canister. Insert tube down dipstick hole until it reaches the bottom of vehicle oil pan. Manual Pump mode, make sure air hose connector valve is closed since this is not using an air compressor setup. Raise pump handle and pump like a bicycle tire pump. After a few pumps oil should start flowing up the extension tube and into the pump canister. Pump several times and old engine oil will start filling the canister. Pump several times more until all the old engine oil is pumped out of vehicle, you should hear it sucking air when all the oil had been pumped out, plus you will see air bubbles in extraction hose instead of hose full of oil. This worked good, no need to pump hard just nice and easy.

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

Picked this up specifically for doing oil changes on my Mercedes and it does exactly what I needed. Setup is simple and the suction power is solid once it gets going. Manually pumping works, but it’s slow. If you’re planning to use this without an air compressor, expect to spend a little extra time getting all the oil out. Bottom line: it's clean and makes oil changes way easier. Worth it if you want a no mess setup and don’t mind the slower/tiring manual pump when you’re not using air.

EWK 10.5L Pneumatic/Manual Oil Extractor Pump for Oil Change, Fluid Extractor works great on my Toyota 4Runner. Rufus said it works on Ford engines, it does NOT work on my 2018 Ford F150, 5.0 engine. My 5.0 engine dipstick tube has a sharp bend and the plastic tube will not go into the dipstick tube. You would not want to force the plastic tube and get it stuck. The tank I received is very well made and It would be impossible for this tank to collapse as some reviews have stated. I will be keeping this item.

I wish I would have bought this years ago! I changed the oil in my riding lawnmower, self propelled lawnmower, and snowblower all in 30 minutes. I used my compressor to use it for the first two and went to my shed to do the snowblower with the manual pump. Worked so well. Didn’t need to use the smaller suction tubes. The large one fit through all dipstick “holes”. Went to my daughter and son-in-law’s house and did their rider lawnmower and snowblower also. All the tubes are pretty stiff and that is needed to get to the bottom of the oil pans. I first did take a heat gun to warm up the tubes to straighten them from the box it was all shipped in. So happy with this purchase.

Nothing about this was easy. This is my second attempt at an oil extractor for doing oil changes on my boat. I decided to replace the one I had (and no longer used) hoping the compressor attachment would make it relevant. It did not. It was worthless. Possibly it’s my own application but the directions and product description didn’t cover applicable restrictions. I also don’t just willy nilly things and made sure to watch lots of YouTube videos on how to use this pump before using it. And my application is straight forward. Securing the black plastic cap to the reservoir was my first challenge. It was so tight, I thought for a minute I had the wrong part. It required channel locks to get it on and twisted and then channel locks again to take it off. Getting down to the bottom of the oil pan was easy in my 5.7L merc. The smallest diameter tube was the one and it’s a hard stop as soon as you hit the bottom of the pan. Hooked up my 165 psi Dewalt pancake compressor, flipped the valve on and waited…nothing. Kept waiting…nothing. My DIY friend/mechanic was with me and expressed concern I was running the compressor so long it might cause the canister to suck in and implode on itself making a huge mess. I reminded him we had no oil yet so we let the compressor run and eventually the compressor ran out of pressure without drawing a single drop of oil. Read the directions which don’t have a lot of detail, but it’s also a simple operation that really only works one way. Confident we were doing it correctly, just like in all the videos I watched, we gave up on the compressor. Le sigh :-( New plan…the hand pump, same as the one I had hoped to “upgrade” from. After a 15 or so pumps we saw our first sign of oil coming up the tube. I was elated but also disappointed that we couldn’t get this far with the compressor attachment. My disappointment grew as I noticed the extreme slow rate of oil coming out of the motor. We pumped and we pumped and we pumped and after 45 mins decided we might or might not have got it all and went on to the filter. There really is no reliable way to know if the pump has finished the job. You can’t see in the canister and you can’t see to the bottom of the oil pan (obviously) The filter was in such a god-awful awkward place we were unable to get it with the wrenches we had so I ordered a different wrench from Amazon and put the project on hold for a couple days. Filter arrived two days later, but now it’s Tuesday, so i waited another couple days till the weekend. Being very concerned on our uncertainty if we had all the oil out, I decided to try the compressor again. Nope, no luck. So I went ahead and did the hand pump and pulled more oil out. Still not certain if I had all the oil, my concern succumbed to frustration and went ahead and Replaced the filter anyway. In total, I spent almost two hours waiting and wondering if I had all the oil out of the pan. The frustration with the non functional air compressor, and the black cap I have to use extreme force to get on and off, and the unbelievable amount of time spent waiting for the oil to come out, but no way to know if I got it all really soured my experience with this product and reminded me why I stopped using the previous one I had bought. I’ll continue to look for other solutions to do my own boat oil changes.

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.

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.

Used it twice already broken

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 !

Works great pump it a few times and sit back and chill or go do other things.
