I bought this as I was sick and tired of crawling under my cars and getting dirty, and dealing with stuck oil drain pan bolts. I figured I change the oil enough that the convenience that this purchase would bring would be worth the investment. Turns out, I was right. The first oil change with it was two days ago. The oil light came on in our 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan R/T. We drive a LOT currently travelling back and forth for family reasons, so I also took this opportunity to get a FRAM Ultra Synthetic Oil Filter and Mobile One Annual Protection oil, both of which are guaranteed for 20,000 miles, which I highly recommend. It is recommended when changing your oil to start the vehicle first and get it up to temp before changing the oil. This helps the oil to flow, and also any contaminants that may have settled will be freshly suspended in the oil to be removed. I shut the van off, waited 5 minutes, and then inserted the smaller tube (it comes with two adapters) into the oil dipstick pan. The Grand Caravan's is angled such that it didn't bottom out on the pan, but you can use the dipstick itself as a length gauge on roughly how far to insert the tube. I unscrewed the oil filler cap (to allow air in), and flipped the evacuator to vacuum and pumped about 10 times. I could see the oil start coming up and out, and into the evacuator's reservoir. Luckily for me, the Grand Caravan's Oil Filter is also top side, and happens to be near the top of the engine where I can access it, and it's at the high point of the oil loop, which means no drippage when changing. While the pump was doing it's thing, I was able to swap out the oil filter and get the new one in and everything snugged up. Then it was as simple as dumping in my new oil, checking levels, and flipping the evacuator to pump in order to pump out the oil into the newly emptied oil container my new oil came in. Overall, it was an extremely easy process, and I'm very happy with the apparent quality and performance of the evacuator. the only gripe I have, and it's a relatively small one, is the tubes that it comes with. They are rather stiff, like refridgerator ice maker line, and because of that, in the cold, they are rather non-compliant. I'm still able to get it to work just fine, but the tubes, in my opinion, are a little stiffer than they need to be, especially considering they ship coiled inside the box and retain that coiled shape due to their rigidity. Overall though, it's a great tool and I'm very glad I purchased it!

Robust build. Easy to use. Great capacity and easy to pour old oil into can. This worked well on my 2017 and then my replacement 2021 Audi A4 TDI. I would say these oil evaluators are great if the oil filter is located on the top of the engine as in the case with my A4. If the oil filter is underneath then the car would need to be raised and plastic guard removed so then you would easily get to the sump nut so why bother with this tool at all ? With my oil filter on top I don't need to lift the car at all, simply suck out the old oil through the dip pipe. It is also great for cleaning out around the removed paper oil filter. The engine and therefore the engine oil needs to be warm & you get a feel as to how far to shove the correct diameter pipe into the dipstick tube until it hits the sump pan. Had approx 5L of old oil out in less than 10 min. Quick, easy oil & oil filter change. Hope it lasts. Have done 3 services now with min fuss. Delighted with it . I leave tubes high to allow to drain back over time. Easy to empty too from spout.

Prima Produkt. Prima Qualität. Ein Muss für alle Range Rover V8 5.0 Besitzer, die selber den Öl- und Filterwechsel machen. So easy!

Very good easy to use product. Makes fluid evacuation and transfer a breeze. Highly recommend this product.
