US 2024/0216847 A1 · OIL FILTER EVACUATOR

Abstract

An oil filter evacuator may be configured to attach to an oil filter housing of a vehicle and/or an oil filter adapter coupled with a vehicle, form a seal with the oil filter housing and/or oil filter adapter, and when an oil filter (such as a spin-on oil filter) is attached to the oil filter housing and/or the oil filter adapter, the oil filter evacuator may be sandwiched between the oil filter housing and/or the oil filter adapter and the oil filter, forming a seal with both the oil filter housing and/or the oil filter adapter and the oil filter. The oil filter evacuator may have a side-hole accessible on an exterior of the oil filter evacuator and extending into a passage of the oil filter evacuator such that pressurized air may be applied to the side-hole and passed into the oil filter system, thereby pressurizing the oil filter system.
