It's obvious we are not all going to agree on this one lol.

I started using the vacuum method and am very happy with it. I have yet to see this so-called muck on any engine I have ever worked on. The only time I have seen anything I didn't like was the "mayonnaise" that built up in the rocker box of some engines years ago.

Just make sure what ever type you buy, it has quite a rigid pipe so that it goes straight down to the bottom of the sump without curling or you will not get all the oil out, and maybe get it stuck on removal.
