the units look different. do they work separately.
i guess the way it looks the hand one well thats self explanitory. the pnuematic one, since it looks different do you need the hand one also for the reserviour. just an observation

I have never had a problem (only used it twice though) so far. My Isuzu Trooper (winter unit) has more the 5 quarts so I had to stop the suction, (by pressing a relieve valve), empty to tank, and then suck the remaining oil out. This one has a nice handle and spout to pour the used oil into other containers (like Gallon jugs or Liquid Laundry jugs or Windshield Washer Jugs...)

I have the exact same one stejus has.
These pumps will NOT work on dry sump cars (Porsche), but we have nothing to worry about.
Change you oil with no mess and daily clothes is why I bought this system. Plus it takes only a few minutes.

so besides the benefit of the mess factor and the little amount of effort, does this thing remove more oil than the traditional way? you gotta get under the car to change the oil filter anyway, right?

The biggest benefit is you don’t get all dirty, it’s a simply clean up process, you don’t risk stripping the drain plug and you don’t risk tightening the drain plug too tight and cracking the washer.

Here's where I got my Oil-Boy: http://www.allaboutboating.com/store...oductID=259057
It was about the cheapest I could find. If you have a marine supply near by they may have it also.

I bought mine for $94.95 at www.performanceproducts.com.
Unfortunately, my C32 takes about 8 quarts of oil so I needed a larger one. Here's a link: http://performanceproducts.com/Produ...producttype=10

For those that use the extractor, do you ever change the crush washer on the oil plug? I realize we're not removing the drain plug, but at some point would the washer start to leak from not being replaced? It's gotta lose it's holding power after a while.

I use a Griot's pneumatic model and think it's awesome.
I did attempt removal from above with the Subaru, and true enough, I had 2 quarts or so left behind. Damn baffle.
And to NSXNEXT's question -- I've only changed the crush washer on my CL once. As long as you don't remove the drain bolt you don't have to change the washer. As the oil pan isn't a moving part, once torqued up correctly, the bolt and washer shouldn't move/loosen.

i fianlly used the oil boy and it worked very well. it took about 10-15 min for all of the oil to be sucked out. it didnt really take much to figure the thing out. it is highly recomended and worked on the accord and rl. and i found out that both cars use the same oil filter
