00:00Okay, so if you've ever crawled under your car on a cold driveway, cracked the drain plug,
00:04and immediately taken a face full of hot oil, this video is for you.
00:08I went down a rabbit hole looking for the best oil change tools for a home garage,
00:12and I found 5 that people are actually buying by the thousands,
00:15all with ratings above 4.5 stars. Let's get into it.
00:21Starting off with the simplest one, this manual vacuum syringe pump.
00:25It's basically a big translucent syringe with a hose,
00:28and you use it to suck oil straight out of the dipstick tube, or pull coolant, break fluid, whatever you
00:33need.
00:34Comes in 500 cubic centimeters or 1,500 cubic centimeters, and because the body is see-through,
00:41you can actually watch what you're pulling out, which is huge if you're checking for contamination.
00:4612 bucks and change, almost 5,000 sold, sitting at a 4.8 rating.
00:51For $12, this thing basically pays for itself the first time you don't have to jack the car up.
00:57Next up is an even cheaper version of that idea, this large capacity extractor syringe
01:02with a measuring scale printed right on the barrel.
01:05And honestly, that scale is the whole reason I like it.
01:09When you're topping off a transmission or a differential and you need exactly 200 milliliters,
01:14guessing is not a good plan.
01:16This one takes the guesswork out completely.
01:24It's got a 4.9 rating, which is the highest on this list, and over 4,600 people have bought
01:29it.
01:30If you buy nothing else from this video, grab this one.
01:34Now if you're done with manual labor entirely, here's the 12-volt and 24-volt electric oil pump.
01:41260 watts, hooks straight to your battery with alligator clips, and it'll pull engine oil,
01:46diesel, fuel, coolant, you name it.
01:49Great for boats, motorcycles, trucks, anything worth getting underneath is a pain.
01:54It runs about $79, so it's an investment, but this is the kind of tool that turns a 45-minute
02:00job into about 5 minutes.
02:024,500 sold, 4.6 rating.
02:05If you're changing oil on multiple vehicles, this one makes a lot of sense.
02:10Number 4 is the one nobody thinks about until it's too late anti-splash oil drain mats.
02:16You get them in 2, 3, or 5 packs, and they sit under your drain pan and catch every splash,
02:21drip, and stream that misses.
02:23If you've got a concrete garage floor, you already know oil stains are basically permanent.
02:29These are $7.26.
02:32$7 to not permanently ruin your floor, and to not spend 20 minutes with kitty litter and
02:38a wire brush afterwards.
02:40Easiest yes on this list.
02:42And rounding it out, the 9-liter waste oil extraction pump.
02:46This is the ProStyle 1 big sealed canister, hand-operated vacuum, you pump it up, drop the
02:52tube down the dipstick, and it pulls the oil out into the tank while you go do something else.
02:579 liters means you're doing a full oil change without ever emptying it, and everything stays
03:01sealed, so there's no sloshing waste oil around your garage.
03:05It's $87, the priciest here, but it's a buy-it-once tool.
03:104,300 people picked it up and it's holding a 4.6.
03:14Alright, that's the 5.
