Recommend me an oil extractor pump
Discussion
As per the title, Going to give the car a service soon and thought it might make a nice change not to crawl about under the car to change the oil so I'm going to get one of the pumps, but wanted recommendations first.
Car is a W209 CLK320 if it make any difference but also want to use it when i service the misses 2006 Clio
Thanks all

They are not for me, I prefer to drain it through the bung.
This allows any debris to be dropped out the sump and clears the maximum amount of old oil from the engine.
What debris do you find? (genuine Q) What kind of car are you servicing?This allows any debris to be dropped out the sump and clears the maximum amount of old oil from the engine.
You never know what you may find but I like to see what on my magnetic sump bung, it is an early warning sign of any possible problems and it can be cleaned at the same time removing any metallic build up from the engine.
I service all sorts of plant,commercial, agricultural, and car engines mainly diesels and have very often have found large build ups of thick grease like oil at the bottom of a sump, gravity aids the removal via the bung.
You can even have a brew while you wait for the last drops to exit the sump
Lastly when I service my own motorbike (Yamaha V max) draining the oil allows any debris from the clutch friction plates that are oil immersed within the engine to be dropped through the sump bung I feel I would not be able to remove it as well with an oil extraction device.
