Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this syringe for brake fluid?

While it can move fluids, it is specifically designed for oil. Ensure you clean it thoroughly before using it with different fluid types to avoid contamination.

How long is the flexible hose?

The hose is 300mm long, providing enough reach for most standard automotive differential access points.

Is the syringe made of plastic or metal?

The main body is constructed from durable painted cast steel.

How do I prevent the tool from leaking during storage?

Always empty the cylinder completely after use and store the unit in an upright position.

What is the external diameter of the hose?

The external diameter is 13mm, which fits most standard automotive fill holes.

Does this tool come with a warranty?

Sealey products are typically covered by a manufacturer's warranty; please check your original purchase documentation for specific terms.

Troubleshooting

Syringe fails to draw oil

Check the hose connection for air leaks and ensure the plunger seal is fully intact and seated properly.

Plunger feels stiff or difficult to pull

Apply a small amount of clean oil to the plunger shaft and inside the cylinder wall to improve lubrication.

Oil leaks from the hose connection

Tighten the connection point or replace the hose if the material has become cracked or loose due to age.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable steel body resists accidental damage
  • Flexible hose makes reaching awkward angles simple
  • Easy-grip T-bar plunger reduces hand fatigue
  • Compact enough for standard tool chest storage

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy-duty industrial sump drainage
  • Requires manual cleaning after use to prevent cross-contamination
  • 500ml capacity is limited for large capacity transmission systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup requires no assembly beyond attaching the flexible hose securely to the base of the syringe. Ensure the hose connection is airtight to maintain effective suction pressure. For compatibility, the 13mm hose is designed to fit most standard automotive gearbox and differential filler ports.

Care instructions include:

  • Flush the internal tube with an appropriate solvent after use if switching between different oil types.
  • Store in a clean, dry environment to prevent corrosion of the steel body.
  • Periodically inspect the rubber seals within the plunger for signs of wear or hardening to maintain consistent vacuum strength.
