Customer Reviews

Works great. The dispensing feature is the key feature that sets this apart from other tools. It's makes it extremely easy to get the used oil into containers for recycling. No more funnels/towels for spills etc.
Granted, instructions may not be completely detailed, but this is a TOOL not an appliance. One shouldn't expect a wrench to come with 10 pages of instructions.
For those of you complaining about slow suction, here are some tips:
1) Warm up the engine.
2) Use the largest tube that fits down the dipstick
3) Remove the oil fill cap! Modern crankcases are airtight. If you don't remove the oil fill cap, then the only way for air to get in to displace the oil you're sucking out is the tiny space between the dipstick and the tube. You're forming a vaccuum that is working against the tool.
If you've imploded your tool, you've overpumped it, there was something else that was holding up your suction that you did not address.
If you doubt the speed, first practice using the new tool with plain water (clean unit only please: don't mix water with your oil) to get an idea of how everything works, and make sure you don't have any leaks in your connections.

If it works, it works pretty good. Chances are you will get one with a missing O ring though. Several people on car forums I am a member of receive defective items including myself. I called customer service after multiple emails went unanswered. I told them I think it was missing an o ring because it would not hold a vaccum. They said "yep it might be" and that was it, no "we will get one right out to you" or ship it back for an exchange. They were very rude. I just sealed it with some gasket maker and it works now but looks terrible. I would go with a different unit with beter quality control.
