What can I say... This thing works great. I have a 2006 SV211 Ski Nautique and I can plug this right on to the end of the dipstick tube and suck away. I've also used it on our Seadoo, my Honda walk behind, Troybilt chipper shredder and my John Deere Snow thrower. Makes life MUCH easier and cleaner IMO.
For those of you that say it doesn't suck the oil quickly enough... Did you warm the oil up? Come on... EVERYONE knows you warm the oil BEFORE changing it.
This product offers good quality at a good price. Buy it with confidence.

You have to keep pumping, removing and moving hose in and out of dipstick. Vacuum gets set, release pinch and then you get some oil out. Not much and then you have to keep repeating process for a long time. The pump handle broke off second year. A major pain. Well worth buying electric if you are going to change oil through dipstick every year.

Comments about Airpower America Topside Oil Changer:
Used to change oil and transmission fluids for the last 7 years. Save hundreds on transmission drains and refills. Allows for clean oil changes.
Works well only on warm oil and transmission fluids, takes about 10 to 20 min. Requires tight seals on pump and suction line ( lubricate seals with oil). Drains easily up to 6 qt.

Q:
I purchased one of these Topside oil changers from you 4 years ago. It works very well. I need the plastic clip with "pinches" the hose during pumping action.
Where can I get one of these clips?
Thank you
