Went out into the garage in my bathrobe and slippers, hooked up my Mityvac MV7201, 12 full pumps and went back in to finish my coffee and read the paper. Why the heck would anyone want to go through the trouble of crawling under the car to remove the plug, which by the way is easy to overtighen and is prone to cracking, when the pump is so much more convenient! By the way, most all Mercedes service shops use evacuators. I've changed the oil on several differant cars using both methods and there's no differance in the amount drained. The model I have even lets you flip a switch and pump the oil into a dispose container.
And to top that, I did all this one handed. Busted my elbow playing softball and have it in a sling!!!
