Default Dont Laugh
I had new clutch fitted recently and have only just checked the oil, it was very high,so time to find something to siphon it out with,as didnt fancy laying under car getting covered in stinking gearbox oil.

This worked fantastically and took 2 minutes.

Great idea, just don't use it again for a water fight or the recipient will go home stinking of cat's piss / gear oil (horrible stuff)

Ive used a syringe (with no needle of course) for sucking out brake fluid from the reservoir when compressing back a brake piston for new pads!

On standard poo car might i add, if it was a scoob then the brake fluid would probably be changed at the same time.

Pump and squirt - that's what always gets him into trouble, you know!
