Product Description
Larger Capacity Fluid Evacuator The recently introduced Mityvac 07400 Fluid Evacuator is ideal for use in the shop or at home. The 07400 removes all types of fluid in a range of applications from cars, trucks, boats, RVs, ATVs and small engines. The easy-to-use 07400 Fluid Evacuator provides a larger, more durable reservoir than its predecessor the 07200, increasing the fluid capacity to 1.9 gallons (7.3 liters). Its larger base and redesigned foot stabilizer increase steadiness, reducing the chance for spills.The 07400`s durable pump handle has been strengthened to resist fracture and increase product life. Its unit handle has been redesigned with a longer, more comfortable grip, and the pressure relief valve has been relocated for operator convenience.The unit`s polyethylene construction is easy to clean and resists automotive and household chemicals. Requiring no electricity or compressed air to operate its manual pump, the 07400 is light and portable, and its built-in automatic shutoff prevents accidental overfill.APPLICATIONS: Drain engine oil or transmission fluid directly through the dipstick tube. Drain coolants from radiators, and brake and power steering fluids from reservoirs. Use with Mityvac Brake Bleeding Accessory Kit P/N 07205 to bleed brakes lines. Works great on cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, ATVs, lawn and garden equipment, boats, and much, much more. FEATURES: Automatic shutoff prevents overfill.

 Excellent product, dont need to get under the car October 31, 2007

This is an excellent product. It really works best with Mercedes and BMWs where they also have the oil filter on the top of the car so you dont even need to get under the car to remove the oil filter. Ive also used this on my Audi, which it works fine, but you still need to get under it to get the oil filter out.
Also should point out, this wont work on some domestics because the way they snake their dipsticks into the oil pan. Clear example is the Dodge Ram 04. It comes with a tubing small enough to fit practically any car, but the dipstick on this truck snakes through to major curves so didnt work on that car.
But I can say it will work for almost any import or german car.

I'd seen this evacuator in some car care catalogs I get, but for around $75 instead of the $52 Amazon charges. I generally am fine with going under the car, but I have an S2000 now and it's too low to go on my ramps. So, I bought this after reading many reviews.
In short, this works great. I got it in 2 days after ordering, and it was in perfect shape. I checked, and there were no cracks or crazing in the plastic where it was screwed together. The translucent plastic also appears to be very thick - I can't imagine the vacuum pump in this ever being strong enough to collapse it, as one review described. I work in an engine laboratory and deal with automotive tools daily - this is as high quality as most other tools you'd find in a professional garage.
I found the instructions to be just fine. They're only one page, but this is a simple device. In short, there are three tubes that come with it. The largest is designed to connect to the evacuator, and the other end connects to either of the smaller hoses. The small hose fit in the dipstick tube on my S2000, and it was easy to push it down to the oil pan. If you do it slowly, you can feel when the hose first touches the bottom of the pan. The engine oil was still warm from my drive home. I removed the oil fill cap on the engine and pumped the handle on the evacuator 10-12 times. The oil began to get drawn into the chamber quickly. I went inside for 5 minutes or so. When I came back out I had about 1.5 quarts of oil removed. I repeated the pump and wait routine twice more. By then I had most of the oil out and it was mostly sucking air. I did one more pump cycle to make sure I'd gotten as much as possible. According to the markings on the tank I had about 4.7 liters of oil, and the engine holds 4.8. There was easily enough left in the oil filter to make up the difference. After refilling and running the engine there was no sign of dirty oil contaminating the clean stuff. I'm confident that this got as much oil as using the drain plug would have.
The best part was that I stayed clean - I did the whole job in my street clothes. Pouring the dirty oil into my recycle container was easy and clean too - the opening has a funnel tip on it so that the oil pours cleanly.
If you can't get under your car easily, or you're just tired of doing that, I highly recommend this tool. Of course, you'll need to be able to get the oil filter off from the top of the engine to do the whole oil change, but if you can, then this beats putting the car on ramps, changing clothes, going under and getting oily, cleaning up, etc. I see this getting a lot of use at my place.

This Fluid recovery tool is awsome. What a time saver,no need to hunt up the right tool for draining crankcase oil.Just one simple step and your done. The suction does all the work and is easy to discard the waste fluids too. I also used it to change oil in my harley,no more laying on the floor to unhitch the drain line and fight with the plug..Never before has changing oil been so easy. I highly recomend yjis to all D.I.Y 'RS
Does The Job As It Should December 26, 2007

The quality is good.
Pumping action works fine. It starts pulling the fluid out after couple of pumps. (Make sure you first run the engine for about 3-4 minutes to warm-up the oil). You have to attach extension-hose to the main hose then main hose to the top of cylinder. Emptying is a little tricky, you gotta pull the adaptor piece out and empty from top. Overall it works fine. Don't lose the tubes after job is done, put all back in the box.
very effective May 17, 2008

nice and efficient. open the oil fill cap to help the vacuum. Oil needs to be warm or it will take awhile.
