Topsider's dont have that ability out of the box. Small tube goes into the dipstick tube the length of the dipstick. I think I've read somewhere a mod to have pull just from the dipstick tube itself.

Dang Funola thats pretty quick. Now if you could figure out how to fill it at close to the same time that would be really something.

Yes, just about all of the commercial ones except the one called out in the FSM. Sucking out of the dipstick tube is the proper way to change oil on 617.9xx.
