Looking for Oil Extractor Pump Recommendations. My Suck-Up pump is about 20 yrs old and has seen better days. It was a great pump however appears to be NLA. Prefer vacuum style, searched online and the descriptions all seem a bit vague, ideally something that includes a hose that can go down the dipstick and the trans, in a perfect world including an adapter that could screw on the drain hose end would be great. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1143" rel="nofollow - Mi Bowt |

Chris, I have the Mityvac 07400 which is now model MV7400. It comes with all the different size hoses. I only had a problem with it once when the vacuum check valve at the bottom of the hand pump pugged up with sludge. I called Mityvac to find out if they had been having problems with the check and they told me to drain the reservoir after each use. I had left it sit partially full so the sludge settled to the bottom. http://www.mityvac.com/pages/products_fee.asp" rel="nofollow - Mityvac ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

It worked well, I didn't like that I couldn't tell how much was extracted though. I can see how the Mityvac would be better in that regard. ------------- -Spiral '89 Sport Nautique |

| I got the Topsider because of its lower c.g. and wider base (less likely to tip over) but totally not thrilled with it. You should definitely buy the mityvac instead. |

| We've got the MV7400 and I'm very happy with it. Works fast and is easy to handle, no spills. Fits in confined places. Found it on sale at West Marine for $50. |

I have the topside, only extractor I have every used. Worked fine the one time I changed my Trans Fluid. Guess I should've ponied up the extra $20 for the Mityvac but when you are bleeding money during your first year of boat ownership you gotta save some dollars somewhere. ------------- 96 Super Sport Previously: 95 Sport Nautique, 1980 Ski Supreme |

I have had great luck with my Pella PL-650. Also works great on cars with belly pans. Chuck |

Dumb question alert! I've used these things unsuccessfully in the past. Always felt that I wasn't doing something right as the amount vacuumed seemed unsatisfactory given the work involved. New boat is going to require me to use one of these and I've ordered the Mightyvac 7400. I know to get the oil to operating temperature, but here's the dumb question. Once I get it to temp and begin to extract, are you pumping the entire time or does the siphon/vacuum eventually kick in and it sucks itself out? With regards to lowering the suction hose into the dipstick tube, do you simply push it in until it stops an then pull back every so slightly or what? Also, does there need to be a seal around the suction hose and the dipstick tube? I'd think not, but just checking since my previous results were not good. Are you guys able to pull out 4-5 quarts with these pumps? ------------- Steve 2011 Sport/Air 200 Excalibur 343 2017 Boatmate Tandem Axle Trailer Former CC owner (77, 80, 95, 88, all SNs) Former Malibu owner (07, 09) |

If your new boat still has the oil pan drain hose it is best to connect to that. It won't siphon,maybe it will if it's lower than the engine but I change them all from inside the boat ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

+2 for the MityVac. I have the MV7300 Pneumativac and use it for various fluid extractions. Great tool. JQ ------------- Current 2003 Ski Nautique 206 Limited Previous 2001 Ski Nautique Open Bow 1994 Ski Nautique Open Bow Aqua skiing, ergo sum |

Gary, I like this idea. Does the pump come with adapters to fit the oil drain hose? The boat does have a hose, there's just no hull plug within 6' of it. ------------- Steve 2011 Sport/Air 200 Excalibur 343 2017 Boatmate Tandem Axle Trailer Former CC owner (77, 80, 95, 88, all SNs) Former Malibu owner (07, 09) |

I got a barbed hose fitting that is the same threads as the drain hose in the boat and connected it to the vac's hose with a a rubber hose- To remove oil from the trans or v drive I connected a short length of brake line to the vac hose-  ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Getting the fluid warm for better flow is critical. Second, you need to select the proper tube diameter. Some tubes don't fit properly and won't reach down far enough into the fluid reservoir and then only extract part of the fluid. Allow proper venting so that the vacuum isn't fighting against another vacuum. When doing PCM transmissions, some connect a small flexible piece of copper tubing so that the tube/hose gets all the way down into the fluid reservoir. Just don't let the copper tubing fall off inside the tranny! I have had to push and twist the plastic tubing to get it to go all the way down sometimes. Also, I make sure that the end is not cut at 90 degrees, so that there is not a vacuum block between the hose end and the bottom of the pan. I cut the ends on a 30 to 45 degree angle. Yes, I can pull out 95% of the fluid in most cases. Keep in mind that some high end cars (Mercedes/BMW) recommend fluid extraction as the preferred method vs. drain pan and pulling a plug.

No Steve I just happened to have on hand of what I needed,but any good hardware store should have what you need. I just remove the engine oil from inside the boat,my Nautique lives all year on the lift so I can't do it from outside anyway. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |
