For those that own the Four Uncles Fluid Extractor, anyone have any tips on using it with an air compressor?
I purchased one when my cheap chinese extractor finally died. I did a couple oil changes by pumping, but realized it was way too easy to pinch my fingers when pumping. So I plugged in my compressor and ran it well over 100psi, as it's operating range was 70-170psi.
I was not sure what the valve did. As when it points at the hose, it makes no noise. But when pointed sideways (closed, I thought ) it hisses. It took forever to do my two 1.8ltr oil changes this fall. Not sure if my pump was starting to fail. I did get quite a bit of oil out of the engines, it was just dirt slow.
So any tips on using the four uncles extractor, it is appreciated.
Thanks everyone!
BTW, instructions are horrible, and they tell you to go to the Amazon link for assistance. Sheesh
