is this good enough to pump thick fluid like automatic transmission fluid on my 2008 toyota camry? do i need to use any extension with lesser diameter to allow the end (which suck the liquid) to slid into the ATF dipstick hole? the tube diameter on both the ends appears too broad. is this good enough to pump thick fluid like automatic transmission fluid on my 2008 toyota camry? do i need to use any extension with lesser diameter to allow the end (which suck the liquid) to... » Read More is this good enough to pump thick fluid like automatic transmission fluid on my 2008 toyota camry? do i need to use any extension with lesser diameter to allow the end (which suck the liquid) to slid into the ATF dipstick hole? the tube diameter on both the ends appears too broad. « Show Less

The hose is too large a diameter to fit into the trans dipstick tube. Does your vehicle have a drain plug for the trans? Best bet is to have your repair shop do a "transmission flush" This removes all of the old fluid and replaces it with fresh.

Both tubes are about .35" OD. I would not recommend emptying a transmission with this pump. I have used mine for light transmission fluid and heavy rear end fluid, both with excellent results.

yes I use then for auto Traany fluid and 90 w lower end gear grease for my OMC Cobra outdrice for the boat works great

It is typically plumbed into one of the transmission cooler lines, but it could be inserted into a transmission housing, if you have an existing port or you want to drill and tap one. I believe it's 5/32''. Manual transmissions typically run much cooler than AT's. You may want to look at an oil temp gauge that has a lower range.

Up to half a quart over is fine. If adding this would be over filling more than that you would probably want to siphon a little out first. Filling and draining repeatedly through the dipstick would just remove the stuff your adding if you didn't run the engine in between.

Zach Yes I have a08 Dodge 2500 with the 6.7 cummins, I use the 15/40 oil in the engine, and the 75/90 in the rear end, and the Max ATF in both the transmission and the power steering. all are working great , I gained 2 miles per gallon and the trans shifts smoother as well Hope this helps Greg

there pretty thick and handle gas.but I have a Volvo penta and my raw water intake hose seems alittle thicker and is taylormade for fit.but if the hose doesn't have curves or by heat maybe ok.or try going to youtube.com and do a will it fit or how to question??

This fluid is only for Honda Hybrid vehicles with a CVT (continually variable transmission). I would not recommend this for use in a 2008 Fit. All other Honda automatic transmissions would use ATF-DW1 (Honda's automatic transmission fluid). It is usually recommended to replace all ATF fluids every 30,000 miles.

I've used this to transfer fuel and it worked well. However, make sure the tubes are inserted firmly because the pressure can cause the exhaust tube to fall off and thus cause fluid to spill all over. In my case, it was gasoline..not fun!

It explicitly says that it's only for oil and not gas. And that gas should not pass through the pump. I assume this is due to the liquid type it can handle with the thicker oil and not a watery gas.

The pump comes with two plastic tubes; one is small with a diameter similar to a drinking straw, maybe ~1/4-inch, and the other is larger with a diameter of ~1/2-inch. The smaller tube looks designed to fit in a standard dipstick tube. I have used the pump once but my boat's twin engines have a large dipstick opening so I have not actually stuck the tube down a standard dipstick tube but I'm confident the smaller tube will fit a standard dipstick tube. PS: Note that on my pump the flow direction arrows were backwards and it took me a few minutes to figure out the problem and get the pump working.

Yes you can and should use the Redline D4 ATF fluid. Read on: Our most versatile ATF, use where Dexron III, Dexron II, Mercon and Mercon V fluids are recommended, provides a GL-4 level of gear protection Popular applications: Toyota Type T-III and T-IV, Honda ATF-Z1, NissanMatic D, J & K, Diamond SP-II, SP-III, Mazda ATF M-V, most BMW, Audi, VW automatic transmissions Also used with manual transmissions and transaxles like T-5, T-45, T-56 and late-model BMW Excellent cold weather operation

Yes you can do transmission Fluid, Oil, Gear oil Power steering fluid Brake fluid . its Quite a little sucker, I have the 8qt. version. I wouldnt hesitate to suck out Battery acid with it. Tough rugged, well made. The silver tube on top is aluminum. Fluids dont get in there. It has a replaceable gaskets. I love mine. Wish I had thought of this . Great tool.

I don't know what the diameter is but the black hose was useless in the sense that it is to small to effectively sick the fluid. I had some clear plastic tubing purchased at home depot that I used for sucking engine oil from the dipstick.Clear tubing is better so you can see the oil.

This is a top of the line ATF that will out perform pretty much all other products out there.. However, at 190,000 miles, the quality of your rebuild will probably be the deciding factor in your transmission life vs the quality of the fluid. So you may be better served sticking with something much cheaper.

As long as you bcan get the tip of the tubing into the transmission fluid it should work. Transmission fluid is no more viscous than oil and the pump will work.

Many motors/cars will not allow changing the oil this way. The dip stick tube must be designed for top oil change, some block the hose from going into the oil pan. You need to determine if the dip stick tube allows insertion into the oil pan. The dealer can tell you if you can't tell. The hose is 39" long 1/4" diameter but you can make the hose longer. The pump pumps very rapidly DSMHIKT and you need anchor the hose. I use a three gallon bucket with lid from Lowes. I anchor the exit (5/16") hose under the lid with a couple of push nuts and make sure the lid is on tightly. If you do not do this you will make a very big mess trust me on this.

You need to call the dealership and ask them. These questions are hard to answer as most automakers these days like to have their own brand of fluids with their own additives so you have to buy it from them. They make their transmissions/power steering pumps/etc so that if the fluid doesn't contain the right stuff, it will break. Also you might try calling Royal Purple and asking them. They'd likely be able to answer your question. I can say this though. Anything Royal Purple makes is going to be far better than anyone else, as long as it meets the manufacturers requirements. There are only two other brands greater than royal purple, AMSoil and Redline. Redline being the best of the best but they're expensive.
