Key Features

Clear Dome Inspection Chamber

2.64-gallon transparent chamber allows visual monitoring of fluid type and quality during extraction.

Air-Operated Vacuum System

Pneumatic operation creates vacuum for fluid extraction with no electrical components or spark hazards.

Multiple Probe Compatibility

Includes Mercedes adapter and works with various probe sizes (5mm, 8mm) for different vehicle applications.

Pressure Relief Protection

Built-in 7 psi relief valve prevents over-pressurization and complies with UNE EN-286 Part 1 vessel standards.

Self-Evacuation Feature

Maximum 7 psi discharge pressure enables clean, controlled emptying into bulk storage systems.

Fast Vacuum Performance

Reaches complete vacuum in just 2 minutes 30 seconds for efficient service bay workflow.

Ideal Applications

Passenger vehicle oil changes via dipstick extraction
European vehicle service (Mercedes, BMW, VW) with specialized adapters
Transmission and differential fluid removal
Engine overfill correction and fluid sampling

Frequently Asked

What is the effective fluid capacity I can extract per cycle?+
The 4140-057 has an effective suction volume of 9.51 gallons after reaching complete vacuum. While the total tank capacity is 18.5 gallons, the evacuator can pull approximately 9.5 gallons of fluid in a single vacuum cycle, sufficient for most passenger vehicle oil changes.
How long does it take to create the vacuum needed for extraction?+
The unit reaches complete vacuum in 2 minutes 30 seconds. Once vacuum is established, fluid extraction speed depends on probe size and oil viscosity, the Mercedes adapter probe flows at 0.25 cfm with SAE 30 oil at 80°F.
What makes the 4140-057 different from the 4140-056 model?+
The 4140-057 includes a clear dome inspection chamber (2.64 gallon capacity) that allows visual monitoring of extracted fluid color and condition, plus it comes standard with a Mercedes adapter probe. This makes it ideal for shops servicing European vehicles or requiring fluid quality inspection.
