My mower and pressure washer have drain plugs near the (vertical) 
shafts.  It's kind of a pain in the ass to access on the pressure washer 
but it's still less messy than flipping the whole thing upside-down like 
the user manual recommends.

I bought a venturi vacuum brake bleeder (uses compressed air to create
vacuum) and it's so much easier than a mityvac.  I got mine from wish.com
for less than $15.  The only issue you might have is the reservoir only
holds about a pint.

I never used it, but good reviews for this manual one:

If you have access to a compressor, these are sort of the standard for
doing it in the garage:

Probably I'm confused; but as I read it, this unit only uses air to force
oil out of the container.  It has no provision to suck oil from a vehicle
into the container.
 
A shame, really, as I might buy one if it had suction capability.  The 12v
transfer pump I bought last year to suck out transmission oil turned out to
be worse than useless.

For my boat I use something like this:

<https://www.amazon.com/Jabsco-17850-1012-DIY-Oil-Changer/dp/B001CX0WX4>https://www.amazon.com/Jabsco-17850-1012-DIY-Oil-Changer/dp/B001CX0WX4 

My boat has essentially a car engine.  The top of the dipstick tube 
is threaded to take a garden hose fitting.  My oil changer came set 
up that way.  There is also the option to use a thinner tube that 
would go down a dipstick hole.  I imagine that would be what you 
would need for your small engines.  I have been reasonably satisfied 
with it for my boat.  I warm up the engine before I start.  Warm oil 
pumps easier and quicker.  One nice thing is the pump reverses, 
and  the oil is pumped back out the hose into another container for 
recycling.  There is no awkward pouring and no funnels are involved.

Hi Randall,

Yes, you are right. Sorry for the confusion. Here is one that does both:

$370, no review shown, but it does look like it might work...

Thanks for the input, guys.  I'm leaning towards this one:

*https://tinyurl.com/uob8q38*

Price is reasonable, and it's both manual and pneumatic.  There are 
several similar--i.e. probably made in the same factory in China with 
different brand names slapped-on--to this one, but this has the best 
price.  From reading a lot of reviews, it appears these are only good 
for a few years and maybe a few dozen uses before something breaks.

awkward position, but I=E2=80=99ve used it for mowers, snow blower, and sev=

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
