Description says oil transfer rate 3 litres per minute, but many reviews say it takes 30 mins to pump a few quarts. Which is 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

I used it to pump transmission fluid and it took about 5 minutes per quart. It works but if your looking something that we really transfer a lot of oil quickly and many times then I would go find something much more rugged. At $30 it pays for itself the 1st time you use it to swap transmisstion fluid. That's the way I look at it. I hope it keeps working and has worked to move gas. Never tried it on engine oil but I think it would work also. I would also flush it after uses with something just to get residuel/potentialy harmful to the pump out of it instead of letting it sit in the pump. It's plastic!!

I think it depends entirely upon your oil's (quality), and your personal preference. Personally, just a drop/two, due to the oil flowing from the dispenser lid works wonders for me! =)

I think it has a time limit of 8 hrs. The element does go in the oil or other liquid.

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.

You know Jason, I am not sure. I bought this because it was the replica update of what I had. I hear it pump as soon as, say 2-3gal. When I fill my sink with my 2 gal wet vac it kicks in. I use this for my laundry. Hope this helps ( not a plumber :)

My 2011 Nissan Rogue 4 cylinder with CVT took exactly five quarts. (I poured the old fluid into empty plastic bottles to measure it). I drained from the pan only. It actually holds around seven quarts but you have to do a full flush (messy) to get it all out. I changed it at 30,000 miles and will do it every 25,000 miles in the future. This will keep enough new fluid coming in so I don't have to bother with the full flush.

No. This is a large electric pump. Oil pumps are small mechanical. This pump is for transfer of large amounts. Also try an oil cooler and fan.

Hi, I have a little electric pump I bought and it only takes 6 or 7 minutes to fill and a couple to deflate..Great Boat!!! Craig

Good question. But I wouldn't know..I use it to flush my transmission and that only takes 2-3mins..max.

0.33 gallon per minute. You don't get a 35 foot hose with the separates like they quote in their specs. You get a 25 foot hose.

I bought 4 Qts, but it didn't take all of it. Do not overfill! What I do is empty into oil tray then pour the old oil into a gallon milk container to see how much came out. I thinks it was about 3 Qts.

It's a simple refil. You lift the tank upward, flip it over and unscrew the stop plug. It's nothing to concern yourself with. The tank is big enough to run on max for approximately 12-14 hours or more.

we have several of these pumps and although it is possible to draw some oil from a system during any 400 to 600 micron system we consider this the best pump we have used. The pump has oil, the system has oil so oil can be an issue. I suggest you review your hookup and operational process before going further. Also the longer the hoses the more oil can be extracted from the system during evacuation. Lesser CFM pumps never pull hard enough to be problematic. We never use more than a 7 cfm model because of this situation. You could have a problem. We suggest you speak with a Yellow Jacket factory rep.

I takes less than what comes out of the pump. If you use the full amount, it can/will look oily. Use half the amount that comes out of the pump.

Hello Thomas, Thank you for your inquiry. This is what we recommend. We generally recommend that on average, you turn over your aquarium volume four times per hour. This means that if you have a 30 gallon tank, you need a pump and filter with flow rates of around 120 gph. so if your tank is 120 gallons then a 480 gph. This is a suggestion of course. We hope that you have found this answer helpful. Thank you, Gabriela

It takes a little over 3 quarts. We then reuse that oil a few times, storing it right in the deep fryer, covered on a shelf in the garage.

yes. quicker than you'd think. sometimes so quick you underestimate and overfill your bottle. It takes only a few pumps to fill a large water bottle.
