I=E2=80=99ve had this MityVac since 2015 and it=E2=80=99s worked for everyt=
hing I=E2=80=99ve thrown
at it. I originally bought it for my generator since the drain is in an
awkward position, but I=E2=80=99ve used it for mowers, snow blower, and sev=
eral
cars/trucks.  I creates plenty of vacuum to drain 8 quarts, then it can
conveniently be reversed to push the oil into disposal containers.  I would
buy the exact same thing again.
