It takes a few seconds to suck all the oil out. I.e. I crimp the 3/4" hose with vise grips, let the vac build for about 2 minutes and undo vise grip and it's sucked dry in a few seconds. I repeat that a few times as the oil is still dripping down from up top into the pan. Afterwards, if I take the drain plug out, not one drop will come out. Is that good enough for ya lol?
