I have used the oil extractor a number of times for changing oil on my boat and jet ski and it works great. Make sure you warm up the oil by running the engine before extracting it will allow the oil to move more easily into the vesel.

Having been an ASE certified double master technician for over 24 years, I can honestly say this is one of those products that is worth every penny and works flawlessly. It is well constructed, durable and easy to set up and use. I recommend this product for any do-it-yourselfer who is into maintaining any yard, hobby, or big toys they may have.

Best Deals for Hydro-Turf Oil Extractor OIL01

This thing is awesome, I wish I had got one years ago. The end section is made of a flexable metal with coated plastic making it easy to squirrel around and find them hidden puddles of oil. I originally got it for a small bicycle engine that requires to turn upside down and pour out through the fill part. But no more will I be taking out the oil plug on my cars and missing the pan. Just pump it about nine or ten times and watch the oil run out...Only downside is you might have to explain what it is if your probation officer does a home visit.

Honest reviews on Hydro-Turf Oil Extractor OIL01

WHY I USE AN EXTRACTOR IN THE FIRST PLACE:

My car has a pan underneath that takes a few screws to remove in order to get access to the oil drain plug. Extracting from the top is just easier.

THIS IS MY SECOND EXTRACTOR:

I used to own the Mityvac which broke after a few uses. Replacement parts were too expensive and I ended up tossing the $75 product. The thing was bulky, hard to fit into the car when taking it to dump the oil. Other complaints include the hose being too short and requiring too may pumps to extract oil. Many complaints about that, so I wanted a better alternative when it came to replacing the unit.

WHY I CHOSE THE HT MOTO EXTRACTOR:

It's the only thing available.

Smaller and therefore easier to store.

Great reviews.

Price was right.

DO I LOVE THE HT MOTO EXTRACTOR?

Although it doesn't take continuous pumping and is actually not recommended, it requires repumping during the oil change. I suppose this is typical and is the only way to really do it. Scientifically speaking, it's the nature of the beast, so no complaints. It is what it is.

The unit itself is super small. It's like a cute oversized 6 liter teapot. The size makes it easier to store and I believe the tiny size also makes it easier to create a vacuum if you're extracting about that much oil out of your car. The larger Mitivac took awhile b/c the volume of air is so much relative to the oil being extracted.

The unit is easy to put together. A 5 year old could do it and it does not require any tools.

The small size is not only functional, but is easy to put in the car for dumping at your local place where you do that.

The hose is long enough. I used to have to put the Mitvac on top of a box of Mobile 1 oil to get it high enough off the ground to make it work. I could have bought a new hose, but at $75, it should have everything I need. The HT Moto is much better in terms of this.

No complaints on this unit. It does what it's supposed to do and does it better than the competition. The price is more competitive and it's easier to store. No regrets on the purchase. Although it takes me just as long to do my oil change as it would if I had to put my car up, crawl under there, remove the pan and pull the drain plug, at least I can write this review while my oil's being extracted automatically from the HT Moto oil extractor.

Time to go repump.....

I can not beleive how GREAT this tool is. It makes oil changes a JOY, clean and easy. I have been changing oil in my cars for 35 years. I have lots of memories of laying on my back with oil running down my arm, or spilling oil out a pan or dropping the drain plug into a pan full of oil..... NO LONGER..... I am sure I am getting 99% of the oil out by going down dip stick hole.

Once all the oil is out it is in spill proof contaner and easy to bring to the local tire/oil change/auto part place to recycle. I really love this tool.

On my 2010 VW JSW (Jetta Sportwagen) TDI (Turbo Direct Injection Diesel) the Dealer wants $85 after all the tax and Haz Mat disposal. Although the recommend oil change interval are every 10K; I do it at about 6,500-7,500. Oil and filter are about $50. Money I save I can change oil more often.

VW has a belly pan that requires 19 screws be removed.... to access the drain. It takes me 30 min from start to finish to change oil and filter with the Hydro-Turf Oil Extractor. It would be double that going from the bottom and a lot more messy.

VW recommends you change the drain plug and crush washer everytime.... another $4 every oil change. The oil filter is on top of the engine in a canister so there is no need to get under the car. Also the oil filter is vertical and sits on top; the base of the oil filter housing has some deep pockets in the base. I used the hydro-turf oil extractor is great at getting every drop of oil out of the oil filter housing, a significant amount, at least 3 to 5 ounces of oil...... Again what little old oil remains is insignificant and with the ability to drain the oil filter housing, not possible with out an extractor, it is as good as drain from the bottom at the pan method in my opinion. Highly recommend.
