How can I use my air compressor as a fluid extractor?

Doing an oil change on the 98. Oil was at operating temp...but it's a cold day so as thing cool down it's taking a loooooonnnngggg time to extract the oil with my Mityvac extractor.

I have a decent air compressor. Is it possible to hook up something to the compressor so that the compressor could provide the vacuum to extract the oil? I'm thinking some something analogous to a paint sprayer...only instead of sucking paint I suck oil...and instead of spraying on a wall I spray into a receptacle.
