- Reviewed in Canada on June 3, 2025Verified PurchaseBest oil evacuator out there
- Reviewed in Canada on March 1, 2024Verified PurchaseDoes what it's supposed to do and has the best reviews compared to others on the market.
First time using it, pulled about 4L of old engine oil using the bigger dipstick tube out in less than 10 mins.
I've researched these other models as well, but the Mityvac 7201 (specifically the 7201 and not the 7400) has more general positive feedback overall:
Topsider
Mityvac 7400
For the Topsider, you read about a lot of issues with it losing vacuum. I think that's because there's no separate pour-out hole, like the 7201 has. You end up having to keep removing the pump mechanism, and that wear and tear causes those sealing issues.
For the Mityvac 7400, you read a lot about seal & pump issues - especially when fluid is left in the reservoir. The reason is because the pump is contained within the reservoir, not outside like it is in the 7201, and old fluids left in there cause damage to the pump mechanism over time.
Some tips on using the Mityvac 7201:
1. Cut a small 45deg cutout on the end of the hose that will go into the oil pan. This is to prevent the hose's end from forming a complete seal on the bottom of the oil pan, which will prevent any liquid from flowing through the hose.
Search the web for some forum posts talking about this.
2. Practice first on a bucket of water.
Press the bigger hose into the hole on top the unit, next to the cork.
Connect whichever smaller hose works for your car's dipstick hole to the bigger hose.
Put the smaller hose into the bucket of water.
Pump the vacuum 6x.
You'll see and hear the water start to go into the reservoir.
You can pump a couple times here and there as it's picking up the water, to accelerate the process.
Near the end, you'll hear a gurgling sound as the bucket is almost empty.
Keep pumping while you guide the hose around to suction up all the remaining water.
The idea is that you'll use this knowledge to help you, when you're doing it 'blind' with the engine oil extraction - because you won't be able to see what's happening within the oil pan.
3. Use as 'One way' for Extraction only.
Meaning, always keep it in the Extract mode (button pushed down) and try not to use the Dispense mode. Just empty reservoir using the corked pour-out on the top.
My reasoning is that this will result in less wear-and-tear and prevent gunking up the mechanisms and tubes with old dirty oil. Especially after reading comments about the Extract/Dispense switch o-rings failing over time.
4. Clean after use by suctioning brake cleaner or some other type of engine oil cleaner, swishing around and pouring out through top.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 13, 2023Verified PurchaseCan change oil in 20 minutes--no mess--really works well. The only thing I wish it had was a removable top so it could be cleaned and wiped down on the inside. Suggest replacing oil filter with extended range filter and change it every second oil change. I suck out the oil and mark the side of the unit with felt marker. Empty the used oil and gravity drain the unit, then add new oil to the mark and reverse the process. Caution, NEVER put solvents of any kind in the unit. It will damage the seals. I would buy again!
- Reviewed in Canada on September 16, 2022Verified PurchaseWith this I did my first engine oil change DIY and pretty happy with it. I wanted to change engine oil By myself, but don’t want to go under the car. Fortunately, my car oil filter is on the top so I won’t need to go under the car if I can extract the oil. The pump worked very well, very easy to use and the dispenser function useful. The clean process took a bit time, but not too bad. I have no comparison with other products’ cleaning process. Recommend it

Reviewed in Canada on December 25, 2020Verified PurchasePermet, entre autre, de faire la vidange de l’huile moteur par le tube du joystick ; donc pas besoin de lever le véhicule, de se glisser en dessous, de dévisser le plastique protecteur, l’écrou bouchon et aussi immanquablement de répandre de l’huile un peu partout ! J’ai pu changer l’huile de ma vieille Benz (8 litres) sans échapper la moindre goutte. À noter qu’il faut que l’huile soit tiède et donc qu’il aura fallu faire tourner le moteur quelques minutes. De plus on peut facilement transvaser l’huile dans des contenants comme les bidons vides.
Un peu plus cher que d’autres produits, mais cela me paraît justifié par une robuste construction et la capacité de 8,5 litres.
Très satisfait de mon achat.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 29, 2018Verified PurchaseVery satisfied with this vacuum pump. ( Have only used it twice though )
Every piece of the unit seem to be a quality part. As a unit, it feels quite robust and well put together.
It work very well, producing really great vacuum pressure to extract the oil. No Leaks at all!
There are several copies / knock- offs of this Mityvac unit available and the better ones are probably ok.
This one is pricey comparatively, but this is probably a case of 'you get what you pay for'.
This unit seem built to last, and go through many, many oil changes.
Also I really love the self contained 'no mess' functionality of this unit. Oily clean up is almost non existent!
- Reviewed in Canada on October 22, 2024Verified PurchaseBought this for my hubby to work on his RAM1500. It worked so well, I bought another for my GMC Yukon.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 28, 2023Verified PurchaseThis product is not good for any fluid when i return it back they charge for mailing , I'm not recommending that item that's garbage.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Fluid Management Solution: Mityvac 7201 Manual Fluid Evacuator Plus
Verified PurchaseI recently purchased the Mityvac 7201 Manual Fluid Evacuator Plus with a 2.3-gallon reservoir, and it has been a game-changer for my automotive maintenance routine. This versatile tool is perfect for anyone who regularly needs to evacuate or dispense fluids, whether it's for oil changes, brake fluid replacement, or any other fluid management tasks.
What I love most about the Mityvac 7201 is its manual operation, which gives me complete control over the fluid extraction process. The 2.3-gallon reservoir is ample for most jobs, allowing me to work without frequent interruptions to empty the tank. The construction is sturdy and well-designed, ensuring long-term durability and reliability.
The ease of use is another standout feature. The manual pump action is smooth and efficient, making it easy to create a vacuum and start the fluid extraction. Additionally, the included accessories are thoughtful and practical, covering a wide range of applications. The ability to both evacuate and dispense fluids with one tool adds tremendous value and convenience.
Maintenance is a breeze with the Mityvac 7201. The reservoir is easy to clean, and the components are simple to disassemble and reassemble. This makes it straightforward to keep the tool in top working condition.
Overall, the Mityvac 7201 has exceeded my expectations. It's a reliable, efficient, and versatile tool that has simplified my fluid management tasks significantly. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality fluid evacuator that delivers consistent performance and excellent value for money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great oil change tool
Verified PurchaseRobust build. Easy to use. Great capacity and easy to pour old oil into can.
This worked well on my 2017 and then my replacement 2021 Audi A4 TDI.
I would say these oil evaluators are great if the oil filter is located on the top of the engine as in the case with my A4.
If the oil filter is underneath then the car would need to be raised and plastic guard removed so then you would easily get to the sump nut so why bother with this tool at all ?
With my oil filter on top I don't need to lift the car at all, simply suck out the old oil through the dip pipe. It is also great for cleaning out around the removed paper oil filter. The engine and therefore the engine oil needs to be warm & you get a feel as to how far to shove the correct diameter pipe into the dipstick tube until it hits the sump pan. Had approx 5L of old oil out in less than 10 min. Quick, easy oil & oil filter change.
Hope it lasts. Have done 3 services now with min fuss. Delighted with it .
I leave tubes high to allow to drain back over time. Easy to empty too from spout.
