P1000 Oil extracter any good?

[Bombardier Convert]

Just wondering if this would be at all something that would work on a P1K-3? Or a waste of money and time?

That would be pretty cool if you've ever over filled.

As far as......??? Oil change?.....Probably not

Siphoning a little overfill?.......yes, but there's way cheaper ways of doing that job. Like a big syringe with a small hose on the end.

I thought there was a fill screen?
How would you be sure which sump you were draining?

Yes, Ive had that very pump for 5 yrs and use it every day on generators for my job And its BA. You can use it for all kinds of applications as long as u can get the siphoning tube In the proper orifice to get ALL the oil out. Never tried it on my Pioneer or Talon tho.

Because of the multiple drain plug / oil collection areas in the bottom of the Pioneer 1000 engine/ transmission, I would say the only effective way for removing old oil is using the factory drain plugs and gravity.

Yes it's probably a dumb idea and a waste of about $115 plus tax. Was just wondering if anyone here might have had the same dumb idea as me?

Thr oil fill has a screen about 2 inches below the opening.

The only way to get any oil out hy siphoning would be through the dipstick hole.

Even then youll never get enough out, there will be so much left in the oil tank.

I did, but the conventional way for the sxs’s is prob the way to go. But for most anything else, its worth it. I use it in my mower, done front and rear diffs trans’s radiators all kinds of stuff. Its been a life saver with the residential, commercial and industrial generators I work on.

You can get most (95%) of the oil out of the one drain…one closest to the frame rail. It does make that one quite a bit less messy, but the other is a no-go. Run the tube thru the dipstick.

I use my extractor all the time…it really makes oil changes less messy.

I've been using a vacuum pump since the early 80's for all my small engines. Can't remember removing a drain plug since then.

I just might get it and give that a try. I would still pull the plugs and drain everything but less mess is always better than big mess... Sounds like it is good for lawnmowers and other type lawn and garden engines.

They are handy for transmissions, diffs and other small gear boxes that you can slip a hose into.
I have a mity vac that runs on shop air. Works great and no moving parts other than a simple ball valve. Gear boxes with heavy oil do need to be warmed up a bit.
