There was a big discussion about this on DMCTalk about 2 months back. I looked up a couple of companies that make the vacuum units. They actually look useful as you can use them to drain oil out of a lawnmower or any other gasoline engine, too. In the end I decided to change my oil the traditional way. Maybe at another time I'll get one. Just so you know, the people that do use an oil vacuum pump say it gets as much oil out as pulling the drain plug. ------------------------------------ To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnewsYahoo!
