 Works great!! August 9, 2007

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.

The Mityvac appears to be a sturdy, well-built piece of equipment. I've used it twice and it is foolproof and fast. I really hated lying on the concrete garage floor in the past...this tool has eliminated that.

the negative reviews of this thing most fall under that category of "it took too long" well that would be because you didn't let the oil warm up before trying to suck it through a thin piece of tubing...idiot.
if you follow the directions this thing works great, 5 stars & I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

I use this for changing the oil in my Mercedes S320. It performs flawlessly and with minimal effort. I look forward to using it again.

I ordered the Mityvac 7201 for use in changing the oil in our Yamaha Waverunner and also a generator and compressor. First let me give a big Thank you to Amazon.com for coming thru with the shipping. My order was delayed for some reason and Amazon.com had the item shipped out UPS 2nd Day Air to make up for lost time. The item was in perfect condition and operates
as designed. I recommend the Mityvac 7201 to anyone who wants to simplify the oil changing process. Very simple to use and a great way to avoid the oily mess of traditional oil changing methods.
