    The more I use this thing, the more I like it.

    This time I not only used it to suck the oil out of the MINI, but also to empty itself into the now empty new oil container. It did that whilst I was putting the new oil filter in.

    Just a note for some: If you back the oil filter canister out most of the way, enough so the oh ring is no longer sealing, and let that set whilst you change the oil you'll not spill a drop of oil anywheres when you finally pull the canister up and out.

    I also used the Assenmacher 2136 to remove the oil filter canister vs my trusty AmPro 36mm. The AST 2136 is a lower profile and for the MINI I think it works a bit better.

    I love the mityvac. I just changed the clutch master cylinder in my Miata, and used the mityvac to bleed the line on it. Highly recommend this tool!
