If there’s one thing every professional workshop needs, it’s reliable, heavy-duty equipment that gets the job done quickly, cleanly, and safely. Enter the Sykes Pickavant 53380400, a robust 120-litre pneumatic oil extractor designed to handle even the toughest oil removal jobs. And who better to put it through its paces than the one and only Captain Jack Spanners?

Recently, Jack shared an exclusive TikTok video demonstration (coming soon to Instagram too!) showing the extractor in action and it’s fair to say, this machine didn’t disappoint.

Built for Efficiency and Versatility

The 53380400 is purpose-built for workshops that service heavy-duty vehicles, whether they’re lifted on a ramp or sitting at ground level. Its dual extraction system offers both gravity-fed drainage and pneumatic suction, giving technicians the flexibility to handle hot oil extractions (up to 70–80°C) with ease.

With six included probes designed for different dipstick diameters, it’s ready to adapt to any vehicle that rolls into the bay.

A Closer Look at the Design

One standout feature is the under-vehicle tray, which can be easily positioned beneath vehicles or mounted above the main tank for traditional use. This mobility means mechanics can drain oil directly from the source without having to reposition large vehicles, saving valuable time in the workshop.

And when it comes to durability, we haven’t cut any corners. The carbon steel reservoir, finished with a tough epoxy coating, ensures long-lasting resistance to workshop wear and tear. Add to that a pressure relief valve, set at 4 bar, and you’ve got a tool that’s as safe as it is strong.

Maintenance Made Simple

Keeping workshop tools in top condition shouldn’t be a chore. The 53380400 includes a convenient drain plug, allowing for quick and easy cleaning or internal inspection. With a 120-litre reservoir and 51-litre tray, it’s designed to handle large volumes efficiently, perfect for busy service bays.

Captain Jack’s Verdict

In his TikTok review, @JackSpanners showcased just how effective this extractor is under real workshop conditions. From setup to operation, the system proved smooth, powerful, and built for professional use. The video quickly caught attention across the automotive community, reinforcing why Sykes Pickavant remains a trusted name for workshop tools.
