Have gotten this extractor over Amazon, however to empty around 3.5 liters of warm engine oil, it took me 60-100 strokes. Normal or faulty?

Faulty or sucking air. We can pump our 4 to 5 time and empty Transmission on pickup.

depends on your engine size. use the longer filter for bigger engines the shorter of the two wont circulate enough oil when under pressure

Hey man I have an 06 evo. It took prob about 100 miles for warm idle to go back to normal. But maybe a few hundred miles for the cold start idle to go back to normal. It takes a while to relearn. Good luck! Great product, great price

5 to 10 minutes, you probably won't get all 6 quarts out. Best to drain oil manually, safe time and install Fumoto drain valve. This fluid evacuator is great for enclosed transmissions ("maintained free transmissions")

It's pretty good, though I think I may have run some furnace oil back through the tube when I first started it. It lifted about 7' while operating from the top.The job was to drain one nearly full oil tank and pump it into another similar tank on another furnace in the same building about seventy feet away. I ran the oil through garden hoses over three operations. I had to burn enough fuel out of the receiving tank to accept more, and then I pumped the dregs out while tipping the tank up on a third day. The pump did its job very well, moving furnace oil more quickly than I would have expected.

Well, I did this somewhat. After running the entire Zado sequence, and hoping my 200K + mile engine was coated and renewed... I did another compression test. No change. I really did not want to pull this engine out any rebuild it. It is a Toyota for Gods sake! After the Zado, I did another oil change with a thicker weight full synthetic, it did raise my compression by about 6-8 lbs on the weaker cylinders. It is not safe to run an engine on too thick of an oil because smaller ports like cams and the chain guides will starve for oil. So... What pissed me off is when I did pull my engine and started to tear it down, this Zado was sitting happily in the bottom of my oil pan, protecting it I suppose. It wiped right out, nothing bonded to my cylinder walls, cams, journals, crankshaft or bearings. It just washed through and didn't circulate through the engine. It appears to be heavier than the oil it is supposed to be bonded or blended with. My engine specifically had excessive hardened sludge or carbon in the oiling groves of the pistons. Although the Zado should have bonded, I think nothing but a tear down could have found this and fixed it. Change your oil kids, this truck was bought at 200K miles and I started from there.

my engine smokes very well,can see it even 20 foot distance, use mth smoke fluid. picked mine up new for 150.00....

I've always added just after I pour the last of my new oil into the engine. Not saying this is best or only way however as long as you get this product into the engine is what matters. It will take a couple hundred miles before it will fully affect anything.

Try playing with the choke or disconnect the low oil sensor wire (female male plug). They say that metal particles in the oil affects the sensor. After the first 5 hours of run time you should do an oil change

It should run until all the water/oil mixture has been diffused, and it's much longer than 5 mins. Just make sure you don't fill it past the designated line.

I just checked my WORX chain saw. Much to my surprise it leaked over the last 6 months a significant amount of oil . I had it sitting in a big pan with handle up where any oil leaked would accumulate. This was the case with a 20 year old Craftsman electric saw also. So I guess this is normal. We have to live with it. I had not used the saw for at least 6 months.

I purchased it about 3 weeks ago, took it out of the box, attached the spigot, ran some cleaner through it and used it immediately. I didn't notice any machine oil in the spigot so I would consider it resolved - at least on mine.

Did you put the fine film of oil on the lid? I originally missed that on my AA. I have only gotten a slight steam leak once or twice, but it seemed to stop when I got up to pressure. Sorry I can't help more.

I have been using the pump for a marine application. Which I pump through the dipstick. It takes about 20 minutes for 6 quarts. I found that running the engine for 10 minutes before pumping helps speed the process up significantly when the oil is warm

This little unit is all together it don't come apart. So to clean the oil you have to pick up the entire unit and dump it. I also been having issues with the electrial cord. It is held in by a magenet and if it isn't in properly I have actually been zapped a few times by this unit. If I could I would return it.

It took me about 10-15 min to extract 4quarts of "Cold oil" compared to several hours extracting by hand pumped vacuum I've used previously that was almost twice the cost. If the oil is warm I'm pretty sure it would remove it it in that time frame

With AFM diabled its not sending extra oil to the 8 AFM lifters. when oil is sent to AFM lifter to deactivate the lifter (pushing in pins) the excess oil goes right out the bottom pass the roller in the lifter onto the camshaft thus being threw on pistons causing the oil usage. thats the theory anyway. If thats where your oil usage is going ,that should stop it. I diabled the AFM because the AFM lifters collapsed and then the NEW GM lifters collapsed again within 3000 miles. And you have to pull the head to change them. plus without the AFM my 6.0 still gets the same 15 mpg. If AFM is diabled the AFM lifters will never colapse.
