funola, rather surprised to hear that your hose was "clamped onto dipstick tube". this sounds a lot less messy than dipping it in, thanks for the tip.
25 in hg is the max vacuum my mityvac is rated for, btw. each squeeze moves 1 cubic inch of air. a 2 gallon bucket is 462 cubic inches. now i have no idea what the pressure would be if i squeezed the trigger 462 times.

I have a basic Ebay vacuum oil system, didn't cost much at all, I have found on some cars (like the Mercedes) it fits down the dipstick fine, on others I need to put it around the dipstick tube - both are pretty mess free.
