Fluid syringe

tadaska · 08-17-2016, 08:52 AM

Hi all,

Can you recommend a syringe for changing power steering fluid. Also can the same syringe be used to change the diff oil too?

Cheers!

Options, and yes, if its cleaned out after use then it can be used again for the diff oil.

I thought there would be a bigger one. 100ml doesn't sound like a lot. I take it I have to suck and empty multiple times?

I just use a mighty vac. Use it for multiple stuff, bleed brakes, fluid swaps, complelty removing oil from oil filter housing assembly when doing oil jobs

It looks like there are all kinds of contraptions for that kind of job. I guess it's just finding the one I like...

What do you guys think of this one?

Not too expensive and looks like the sort of thing that might come in handy in the future when working on a car.

I bought one if these recently. Haven't used it yet (next diff fluid change not yet due) but if you've got an old car battery to hand, it's worth a thought...
