Can it also be used to siphon out gear oil and differential fluid (i.e. Honda's VTM-4Fluid) ?

David, We have not tested on gear oil viscosity but we expect the tool will pull the fluid, it will be a slower flow even if synthetic. If you purchase and the tool does not perform for your application with satisfaction we will refund.

I'm using it for a power steering cooler. The fluid is similar so yes it will work with transmission fluid but it's best to use a transmission cooler. Those coolers have a stacked plate design and are better for transmissions

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

From what I recall having read on the package is that this is a liquid gasket. However, the label suggest that it not be used for parts such as trans and oil pans.

No, I used it to seal a differential housing and the oil ate right thru! The stuff goes on as thin as water, it's useless, don't waste your money on this product.

Absolutely NOT. Any fluid designed for conventional automatics - even an extremely high-quality synthetic fluid such as Mobil 1 - CANNOT be used in any CVT. It will cause near-immediate destruction and necessitate a very expensive replacement. You should use - you guessed it - genuine Honda CVT fluid ONLY, as stated in your manual. -- Matt3141, ASE Certified Mechanic and Honda owner.

I have used it three times to remove 90wt gear oil from rear ends. It would be best to run the vehicle and warm the gear oil up before removing it. I would do this for any type of removal; ex. engine, brake and transmission oil.

I wouldn't try it. Honda makes it specific to their cars and will void warranties if any indication that it wasn't used. Nissan however might not be so strict. some research has to be done. I will say stay away from the anything that says "stop leak"

Will be fine as a motorcycle final gear oil. I use this product in two BMW motorcycles, a BMW R1150RT and a R1200S, as a final drive oil and also as the transmission oil.

I think you can use any fluid. The box doesn't say anything about what kind of fluid you can use or can't use. I used it with gear oil.

If you are doing it yourself, you wont be able to extract ALL the fluid, almost half of it gets inside the torque converter, valve body etc. and when you remove the drain plug, you are just draining whtas in the pan. Measure the amount of fluid you take out and refill with that same amount. Doing a google search its a good idea to make yourself clear. Luck

Yes, this is the fluid you want. Total transmission capacity depends on 2 wheel drive or all wheel drive, but is 9 to 10 US quarts. You'll only drain about 5 quarts when draining from the drain plug. I drained 1 time, refilled and drove it for a week, then drained and refilled again to get as close to a full drain and fill. I used a full 10 quarts on my 2 wheel drive rogue using that process.

You could, but note cars post 2000 have anti-siphon gas tanks...it became common knowledge in the NE after Super Storm Sandy. Also, the longer the hose the harder it will be to prime the pump and you could burn it out.

I think it would depend on the depth of the tank and how full it is. You have to "prime" the siphon with some quick "up-and-down" motions, so the depth of the fluid is a factor. Emptying a jerry can is a no-brainer. Emptying a one-quart gas tank on a lawn tractor might be more of a challenge. If the tank is small and/or the fluid level is low, consider a "turkey baster" or something similar.

Yes. This is working spectacular in my gsxf600. Note: most motorcycle oil works with wet clutches unless stated otherwise

It's rated for diesel transfer so "probably" o.k. for hydraulic oil. Best to check with Mfg to be sure.

I dont see any reason that you could not use it. You can easily take the pump apart to check the impeller and the metal for connecting the hose appears to be brass. I used it to pump water through a solar heater for my spa and had no problems.
