I have been using an old plastic gas can, which pretty much collapses but it works. I put either the big shop vac or the little one on it, the small vac hose fits in the pour hole fine. I got an empty R-whateverisusedthesedaysintheHVACunit and am going to fix that up at some point for my

Hi Guys, I recently purchased a MityVac Oil fluid extractor to make my Mercedes oil changes a little easier. There has been some concern throughout my research that it doesn't get enough oil out and the plug is the best method. To test that I extracted oil from my 2004 E320 4matic

Thanks Bob for reporting oil sucker experiment. I have wondred that too with 40+ years of drain plug oil changes. I realize MMMV since i don't use a mity vac but an electric pump or hand vacuum topsider type. On Jan 17, 2015 4:34 PM, Robert Koziak via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com wrote: Hi
