I’ve only heard of people on this forum using the mityvac, but I see no reason why this wouldn’t work. You obviously need a storage container to start with, but it’s much smaller/easier to store than the mityvac.

That pump can't handle gear oil, if you intend to service the transfer case and differentials. I got my mityvac second hand for less than $40, have been very happy with it so far. It is somewhat large, though.

I use a very similar version of that electric pump. Its an 80s napa version. I use a 3gal pool chemical bucket to pump used oil into. Mine has no problem doing gear oil.

What is the difference in specs with the mityvac? I would like to do my diffs and transfer case and I was thinking that it should pump the oil in there

If in doubt buy the larger 80w version of what you posted. Mine does gear oil just fine. You can hear the electric motor working harder and it pumps a tad slower.

I use my mityvac for extract only. It's a pita to clean to use for filling. I use a small pump for the diffs etc or amsoils nifty bags that their gear oil comes in.

Mityvac is a hand pump, not electric. It also has a reservoir to hold the extracted oil.

I watched a video on YouTube and the electric pump he used wouldn’t work and I assume it was pumping too fast and was splashing back out at him. I’m going to get the 80w you’re speaking of

I have an oil extractor, and I use it specifically for that. I'm about to redo my fluids again, but this time I picked up this little guy specifically to put fluid in.
