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.

Customer Reviews
Let your fluids be afraid, very afraid!
I've used this to change the oil in my Passat TDI and my motorcycle with excellent results. The materials and construction seem to be good, no real complaints. The little part that you step on to hold it own could be a little larger. The spout on the top makes it easy to pour out the contents, and the hoses fit tightly and do not seem prone to slipping out or anything like that.

Works but has defect
I ordered my first Mityvac from a different on-line supplier. I noticed that the screws that hold the lid to the base had been put in too tightly. As a result, the plastic was cracked around each screw head. I sent the product back for a refund, and ordered another unit--this time from Amazon. Amazon's service was excellent as always, but the second Mityvac had the same defect: cracked plastic around the screws. I used it anyway, it worked fine extracting oil through the dipstick tube of my VW Jetta. The defect hasn't cause a problem--yet. But just be aware.

Well worth the money
I purchased this to change oil in my 2003 BMW 3 series sedan. If you have ever changed oil for a 3 series you will know how difficult it is to go underneath the car, remove the plastic cover & remove the drain bolt. Oh & all this AFTER you have raised the front wheels. With the Mityvac, all this is eliminated & you can complete the entire oil change in 20 mins without ever having to go under the car.
My only gripe was that this being a "fluid extractor" the hoses provided were too short. I had to place the extractor on the engine for the hose to reach all the way down the oil stick tube.

I like it! Looking forward to using it for all my cars...
I purchased this from Amazon after thoroughly researching ...one of the main drivers for this particular unit was the capacity. I own a BMW, and needed the 8 qts. I also didn't have an air compressor handy. ;-)
My first oil change was on my Toyota MR2. I wanted to test the unit before putting my faith in it, and wanted to see how thorough the vacuum was. So the Mityvac picked up all it could, and then I unplugged the oil drain bolt to see what was left....
Which was surprisingly little. There was about a half cup worth of oil that the Mityvac didn't pick up. I thought that was GREAT for the money I put into it. If it serves as an indicator of things to come, it's a great buy.
Note: I rated 4/5 because I haven't used it for a long time. I haven't had any issues with seals, hoses, or implosion, but I've only used it once.

Mityvac 7.3 L Fluid Evacuator
The oil vac worked well. I did warm up the engine first to reduce the viscosity which helps the oil suction process. The Mityvac worked very well with no spills or drips. The 7.3 L canister allows for plenty of room to hold the old oil. The vacuum pump works well and holds a vacuum. The design of the product allows for relatively easy cleanup.
