Two simple procedures depending on your model. Jump to yours:

Safety: Not for use with gasoline or other flammables.

PL-650 Big PELA & PELA Pro 14 Oil Extractors

  1. Warm up the oil

    Warm up the oil by running the engine. This will allow the contaminates to mix and to suspend in the oil. Remove the dipstick.

    Note: If you can’t hold the dipstick comfortably in your hands, then the oil is too hot! Wait for the oil to cool off a bit.

  2. Insert the extraction tube

    Select and insert the appropriate diameter extraction tube into the dipstick pipe until it touches the bottom of the oil pan. Connect the main tube to the top of the unit and to the extraction tube.

  3. Pump to start the vacuum

    Pump the handle 4 to 15 times in a row to start the vacuum. The unit will extract the oil automatically. Continuous pumping is not required.

    After all the oil has been extracted, press the release valve located at the top of the unit for 5 seconds. Remove the main tube. When pouring the oil into a container, hold the pump as in the photo and pour gently. Do not hold it upside down! Bring the used oil to a recycling depot.

    Note: No special cleaning is required on the unit. Just empty as much oil as possible (do not store oil long term).

PELA 6000 & PELA 2000 Oil Extractors

  1. Warm the oil & insert the tube

    Warm up the oil by running the engine. This will allow the contaminates to mix and suspend in the oil. Remove the dipstick. Insert the extractor tube into the dipstick pipe until it reaches the bottom of the oil pan. Firmly place the tube cap onto the container.

    Note: If the dipstick can’t be held comfortably in your hands, then the oil is too hot. Wait a bit!
