The powered extractors are great, but I toss the MityVac in the Tundra and take it to friends houses for quick services. So easy!
Has anyone used this type of 12v oil extractor?

I did an oil change yesterday on a Porsche cayenne. It took me over 2 hrs to get access to the drain plug with the car on a lift and power tools. Total time was a little over 4 hrs. I wont ever do that again. I will suck it out the top. It's actually designed to be done that way.
Is that extractor extract only? The MityVac has a switch; extract and expel into a 5 qt jug.

Yes, just extracts, then you pour into a container or whatnot for disposal. How much was the mity?
I've used both a cheap Pela type vacuum extractor and an cheap £12 electric pump. The electric pump wins hands down for me with the ability to pump the oil straight into the waste oil container leaving less things to clean up. Perhaps a big expensive Mityvac works well but they are an order of magnitude more expensive.
Works far better than it has any right too.
I have a similar pup that works great on some of my transmissions. Just suction it out and refill with the same amount.
After I had shoulder surgery I used it to do an oil change on a grand caravan so as to not have to try and crawl up under the van. It pretty much got as much out as draining through the oil pan plug.
