Introduction
An oil extractor pump mostly work by sucking/pumping the oil from the car through the tube that is inserted in the opening. You will then have to pump the handle repeatedly so as to create a vacuum that will pull the oil into a container which can then be used for recovering. The vacuum or pump is used for power or even to provide any sort of assistance to vehicles. In petrol engine, the vacuum effect is usually acquired through side effects of the engine as well as the flow restriction that is created by the throttle plate. However, the latter can also be obtained by an electrical hydraulic brake, the vehicle will then move the dampers into the ventilation system, and then a throttle driver is placed in the cruise servomechanism to get the desired effect.
The system of pumping is also used for industrial and scientific purposes where the equipment is used to refill or evacuate harmful gas mixtures or even liquid. The latter can also be used to purify or extract oil depending on the pressure exerted onto the handle.
Now that you know a bit about them, let’s dive into the oil pump products.
OEMTOOLS 24389 Manual Fluid Extractor
OEMTOOLS is one of the commonly known brands around.
Pros and Cons
The pros of this oil extractor pump are varied. A first is that it is a multi-purpose pump since like advertised, it can be used to extract oil from engine, transmission to marine and industrial machinery. Not only oil, put water and coolant can also be extracted from power steering which is very convenient. As a plus, we found it easy to use, especially the flex hose that can be directly inserted into the dipstick tube and extract the excess oil or little that is left in it. Coming in it 1.4 gallon quantity, you can use it to extract oil from the engine as well as the other parts and then carry it safely though the container for recycling. As a final security measure, there is also a shut off valve that will prevent any fluid from overflowing if it’s full.
As a matter of fact, we couldn’t find any cons for this one.
Mityvac 7201 Fluid Evacuator Plus
Mityvac is another one of the commonly known manufacturers of this kind of product.
Pros and Cons
The pros of this fluid extractor firstly is that it is made from high quality polyethylene meaning it is strong and will not rust of even corrode from the chemical reaction of the oil rubbing against the material. The automatic overflow also means that it will shut of once it has reached its limit which in this case is 8 liters. We also found it extremely easy and simple to use and dispense the vehicle oil. Like the others, it is multi-purpose and can extract from oil to water. In addition to that you get the full kit as well as the additional accessories needed to work with various types of liquid and engines.
We found that the plastic cover on top is not like the rest of the material and is fragile, overuse of it might break it.
MaxPower 13395 Flomaster High Speed Oil Change Pump
Maxpower is one of the new manufacturers in terms of pump and they make innovative products.
Pros and Cons
The pros of this product is that it is pretty light and extremely easy to use. It doesn’t consume any power or battery and is fully manual. We found it extremely easy to use it to get the oil and water out from various part of the engine. The tube is also smooth and does not break easily. Thanks to the translucent tank, we found it very convenient to view the level or volume of the oil as it filled the container and knew when to stop so as to stop pumping and dispose of the oil so that we can use the container again. As mentioned above, the hose is pretty strong and in addition to that is very long, making it convenient for connecting to high vehicles. With a 5 quart capacity, it is very quick as advertised.
The con that we found was that, the hose is not suitable for all vehicles.

HAPPYBUY is another one of the emerging brands but compensate it in terms of innovative ideas.
Pros and Cons
The pros of this oil extractor is that it doesn’t need a power source and is manual. It is very flexible and can be transported in the car or vehicle trunk. We found it really easy to use as it is light and it empties the oil pretty fast in about 14-15 pumps with a maximum or 16 if you want to make sure it has extracted all it can. The extractor also comes in its full kit meaning you won’t have to go left and right looking for different accessories to work along with it. The most convenient thing about this pump is that there are different sizes of hoses that suit different cars and conditions. Made from sturdy composite material, it can be used from cars, stationary vehicles to industrial machines. Being multipurpose, it is also suitable for liquids such as water.
The con that we found was that the tubing is pretty fragile and can break if put under pressure.
