Mityvac Product Plug

I finally broke down and purchased a Mityvac Fluid Evacuator Plus to use to suck the oil out of the crankcase. This model holds 8.8 quarts so it will hold all the oil at once. There are marks on the side of the reservoir so you know how much oil has been removed. I was amazed at the speed it sucked the oil out. This is certainly a lot easier than removing the belly pans and the crankcase drain plug. When my wife saw how quickly and easily the oil was removed she asked why I hadn't purchased one years ago. The oil removal process was faster than refilling the crankcase with 8 1/2 quarts of oil, one quart at a time.
