" ...  The nylon hoses are also a great touch, plenty long and no air leaks, just cut the ends of the nylon tubes at a 45 degree angle with a razor blade (like a quill pen or a syringe needle tip) so they don't suck and seal against the bottom of the pan and you're good to go.  ...  "

" ...  I LIKE THE POUR LIP FOR REMOVING THE OIL INTO A STORAGE CONTAINER THE ONLY THING I WISH WAS DIFFERENT IS WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED THERE IS NOWHERE TO PUT THE SUCTION TUBE SO IT DRIPS A LITTLE OIL THAT IS LEFT INSIDE THE SUCTION TUBE MAYBE THERE IS A PLACE TO PUT IT AND I JUST DONT SEE IT QUALITY IS GREAT WORKS GREAT I WILL BUY ANOTHER ONE WHEN I GET MY 2ND SERVICE BAY OPEN  ...  "

" ...  I thought that maybe the end of the tube wasn't where it needed to be so I released the pressure from the pump and began to pull the tube out a bit.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The problem areas are twofold: The tubes are of an extremely stiff material and have memorized a curved shape - bit of a pain trying to insert it into the dipstick and reach the true bottom of the oil pan.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The tube that fell off was the smaller of the 3 and it popped off of the rubber part where the tube came from the manufacturer, not where I connected the main tube to the small tube.  ...  "
