OEMTOOLS 24397 Fluid Evacuator – Manual Oil Extractor Pump, Vacuum Oil Changer & Fluid Transfer Tool – Brass Drains 5L in Under 1 Minute – for Oil, Coolant, Brake & Transmission Fluid

I bought this unit in the larger size because I have a Dodge Cummins diesel that holds 12quarts of oil. I also have used it on my Prius and on my daughters sailboat Perkins motor. It has worked perfectly so far. Now for the best part. Last week I had to do rear brakes on my dodge diesel 3500. I had ordered the brake bleeder additional part. After replacing the pads I decided to do a brake fluid flush. I removed the master cylinder cap and was able to suck all the fluid out of the dual reservoir and refilled it with fresh fluid. Onto the furthest wheel from the master cylinder, turn the bleeder valve on this tool to off pump it down attach the hose to the bleeder, crack the bleeder and open the valve. Suck out enough fluid until fluid runs clear. Tighten down bleeder screw. Refill the master cylinder reservoir and repeat. Oh man, a one man bleeder and a huge tank so I never have to dump fluid between wheels. This thing worked great! I have used those finger pump bleeder suckers and they just suck at sucking and you have to empty them 3 times per wheel. Those finger pumper bleeders cost 2/3 of what this costs! So simple to use and works great. I will never bleed again with those finger pumps. This is so much easier! To bleed a car or truck was the best part of this tool. Sucking oil is just an added benefit. Buy this, it’s a no brainer. P.S. the screw ring on the suction side of the tank seems backwards. The tube flange is actually on top of the screw ring. The ring-screw does not hold the hose onto the tank. After much head scratching I simply thought it was just incorrectly made. I scoured the manual and ,as is typical of offshore made products, the manual was useless. Then, I called them. They said it’s correct and the ring is under the tube flange to help push the tube flange off if it needs changing. Why don’t they add that piece of info in the directions? Really stupid! If I were the design engineer, I would make the flange fit under the ring and be done with it and rewrite the instructions. It would cost a one time set up and problem solved but I’m not the engineer and it is made in China. All this said, it seems well made, despite that glitch, and I will continue to use this very effective tool. Some have said that the suction tube is too short, and it is. It will not reach into the pan on larger engines and the flexible tube behind the hard tube is too short so the tank can’t sit on the ground when pumping the handle on a large vehicle or one that is both tall and a large engine. Like my 4WD 3500 truck. A 3 foot solid tube pickup and a 4 foot longer tank to hard hose would have worked better. I fixed that at Home Depot for about 10 $ but it seems silly that I have to deal with these deficiencies instead of the manufacturer. Are you at OEM listening?! Fix this.

I hardly ever write reviews about tools unless they're so bad I need to warn people or they're so good that they deserve the credit and recognition. The good: Largest volume I could find for a manual fluid extractor. This came in handy when I was pulling the transmission fluid out of an Axod Metric AT. It took up everything but an inch or two from the top. Very handy. Very effective suction. I had to pump about four times to extract the majority of the fluid. After that I was basically sucking out small volumes at a time to drain the rest of what was in the pan. The primary and secondary hose design is very convenient. It made the job virtually mess free. The plastic nut that slips under the primary hose connection to the vessel is very convenient, allows the user to gently unhook the hose without rocking a canister full of fluid. The onboard storage for the primary hose suction end is very thoughtful. Also, onboard storage for the two provided hoses is very thoughtful. Its nice that I can unhook the primary hose after a large job and just latch on to something above and let it gravity drain into the main canister. The bad: The cap is a little bit tought to get off. I haven't quite managed to get it yet, but I figure it just needs more effort than I put in. The 1/4" secondary hose does not allow the user to undo the hose and refit with another, like the kind you can get from a hardware store. That would be handy in the case that I want to do a job that is highly sensitive to contaminants, like CVT fluid. I noticed that the primary hose has a 1/4" size insert but I'm not sure if that will hold suction, I'll have to try it. Conclusion: With that said, I think its worth the money. You can pay a little bit more for other units that go for more that happen to have more reviews. I'm not sure why this one doesn't get more attention. I've always been a fan of OEM Tools primary for the quality of their work. I'm looking forward to changing auto fluids now. Cleaner, faster, more effective.

This product easily vacuumed 6 quarts from my Dodge Ram 1500 545RFE transmission. The manufacturer could make it better if they marked quarts/liters on the cylinder…so do yourself a favor and do that yourself so you can know exactly how much fluid you took out and, therefore how much new fluid to put back. The large hose goes onto the cylinder in a counter intuitive way. Leave the screw down hose “pseudo” retainer collar on the threads…do NOT take it off and slide it over the hose! Screw it down then back it off about 3 turns; push hard on the large hose O-ring connector into the mouth of the intake and seat it; then screw the collar down all the way to finger tight. It is a weird design! To pour out the old fluid I removed the hose and poured it out of that hole into the disposal container. Use Dawn or equivalent to clean…just fill half a sink full of soapy warm water and vacuum it into the cylinder. Pour it out and refill with clean water and rinse twice using the same procedure.

Poor users manual. Several parts not noted and unsure of there use. Not hard to set up but found it not getting oil to come out. Learned to actually push passed some obstacle until it reached the bottom of the oil pan. After getting it properly situated oil flowed easily and was the cleanest oil change I've conducted. Good product

Great quality

All I can say it did not work for me so would not recommend it if I still had the box I would send it back had to go and buy car ramps so in my mind wasted nearly a hundred

works well, good quality, looking forward to using it more

Work as intended, good quality.

El producto funciona muy bien para extraerle el aceite del cárter a los motores de los carros, es un buen producto y muy práctico.
