Pros: Easy to assemble, fast oil removal, easy to clean when done.
Cons: Do not use on a gas tank or oil mixed with gas. FIRE!
The Bottom Line: So easy to use, fast operation & cleanup is easy to if you use Dawn.

| theawesome1's Full Review: Liquivac??? Oil Vacuum System (2005) |
Northern Tools has created the Liquivac. $35 at Lowe's for the greatest way to change oil in lawn mowers, snow throwers or even a motorcycle. Just do not touch gasoline with it - FIRE.
Easy to assemble, hose to one end, clip for hose to stop air from traveling thru it and the cap for the oil release at oil exchange sites like NTB.
The see through hose goes into the dipstick area to the bottom of the oil holder. Then you pump 20 times to cause a force in the air that you then unclip the hose & watch the oil race thru it and hear the air moving the oil into the container. 3 times to clear our mower & snowthrower, which we did after the mower. Snowthrower holds twice the oil of a mower. Then you insert the dipstick to see it with nothing on it & know you are done. Be sure you did not mix oil with gasoline in the mower or snow thrower. We went to NTB to have them dump the oil in their recycle bin.
Then refill it with the oil mentioned in the users guide. Then my neighbor brought his motorcycle, since it has its own oil area with no gas in it. So he put the hose in the oil area after the dipstick was removed & he pumped it, removed the clip & watch the oil just fill the container. I told him to do it over 2 more times, which he did 3 more. Then he put the diptick in it & nothing on it, so he filled with 5 quarts of oil. Started it & was very happy. He took it up to NTB to recycle the oil.
Then I washed the set in Dawn detergent which removes oil so perfectly. So back in the box til next year when we do i again. Well worth the price for the mess when you turn the mower sideways & it leaks out of the bowl the oil spilled in. What a mess! But no more.
