Sick and bored at home so did some research and wanted to share:
My brother in law owns a Mercedes C230 and is due for an oil change soon. Oil change at the dealer is $200+ (which he's done in the past). Plus there are 4 other cars in the family. Oil extractor will be a good investment!
Narrowed it down to a few.
1. Mityvac 7201 (8.8 liter) Fluid Evacuator Plus (Approx $71)
http://www.amazon.com/Mityvac-7201-Fluid...4749&sr=1-1
Pros: Pumps in and out! Large Capacity
Cons: bulky, too many parts = increase chance of problems in the future
2. Mityvac 7400 7.3 Liter Fluid Evacuator (Approx $58)
http://www.amazon.com/Mityvac-7400-Liter...4925&sr=1-1
Pros: Cheaper, less parts, used by many
Cons: bulky, No pump out feature
3. Pela Oil Extractor, 6 liter (Approx $65)
http://www.amazon.com/Pela-Oil-Extractor...5110&sr=1-1
Pros: less bulky, many people recommend
Cons: 6L cap (good enough for oil changes, but not tranny exchanges if ever decide to go that way)
4. Unlimited Gallon Oil Fluid Suction Pump Extractor &Tube (Approx $56)
http://www.amazon.com/Unlimited-Gallon-F...5273&sr=1-1
Pros: pretty cool gadget! (show off to your friends), pump right into disposal container, unlimited capacity, fairly competitively priced
Cons: electrical = future problems/battery drain, No reviews from past users
I'm leaning towards the Mityvac 7400. Best bang for the buck, less chance of problems, decent capacity.
Chime in with any advice/comments or recommendations.
