Default motive power fluid extractor

i tried using this a few days ago and it didnt even fit down the dipstick area. i finally got it jammed down there but the tube was pinched because it was probably too small in there. has anyone had success using this? its sold on the s2ki marketplace so i thought it would work but i guess maybe only for extracting other fluids.

I used MityVac fluid extractor on 3 cars: '00 MB E430, '94 LS400 and '04 S2000. There are two dipstick tubes supplied with Mityvac, larger diameter is used on E430, the smaller diameter is used on Honda and Lexus. It is very easy to use Mityvac on Mecerdes Benz cars and SUV's because it is designed to change oil with vacuum tools. It is a little harder to use vacuum tools on most Japanese and American cars and trucks, but it is still easier to crawl under the cars.

Look like Mityvac fluid extractor comes with only one dipstick tube, you may want to buy smaller tube about 5-6 fts long at Home Depot or at pet store that sell fish tanks and accesories.
