Clockwork is on a distinguished road
I have used fluid evacuators (my first wsa MityVac fluid evacuator, but then bought another from Princess Auto - same as Harbour Freight stores) for decades. M54, M70, N62 & now N14 engines. having the oil hot is best when sucking out. and after sucked out, if your engine desigin allows, loosen the oil filter cap and then drain MORE out of that area (when filter sits on top/side access of engine, unlike the V8 N62)
I've changed my oil in my cars in dress pants, shirt and tie way more than ever in my mechanics coveralls. SOOO WORTH having a fluid evacuator.
