An oil sampling system for collecting an oil sample from a receptacle is disclosed. The system includes a head having a vertically disposed central bore. A collection bottle is sealingly attached to the bottom of the head in fluid communication with the central bore. A flexible tube extends from the receptacle to be sampled to the top of the head and into the central bore and is attached to the head by a coupling mechanism which selectively forms a seal between the head and the flexible tube. A vacuum mechanism in fluid communication with the central bore is used to selectively produce a partial vacuum for drawing the oil to be sampled into the flexible tube and into the collection bottle. The flexible tube extends into the interior of the collection bottle and oil to be sampled only contacts the flexible tube and the collection bottle.
