I think as long as you pull the filter while drawing out the oil you'll get nearly all of it. I also have used that method but frankly prefer the old gravity drain better (not to start ANOTHER thread on which way is better). You will never get as much out with the vac method as with the drain method but it probably doesn't matter...I prefer the drain method mostly cause it gives me a reason to examine everything underneath...it's how I found leaks in the oil level sensor and thermostat housing that would have otherwise gone un-noticed.
