Or, build your own WIlton Sucker for $5. Personally, I bought some
nice 3 gallon SS soda/acid fire extinguishers ($5 ea), modified the
handle so I can pin the valve open and use that with compressed air and
a HF vacuum dealie to suck out the oil. The ext. has an air valve, when
done sucking, i charge the ext with 5-10 PSI then discharge the used oel
into jugs to take to FLAPS for recycle.

Nothing. The MB dipstick tube goes all the way to the bottom so it pulls just
as much oil as using the drain. I remember years ago somebody did a test and
pulled the oil pan, the topsider I think got more oil because there was
residual around the plug hole. Its also much nicer to deal with a topsider full
of oil than a pan.
On my Jetta a topsider is no advantage really since you need to go down below
to replace the oil filter anyway. On Angie's Golf it'd be nice to stay up top...
