yes similar to a siphon except it has a pump. its a device that pumps oil out without removing the drain bolt from underneath. it prevents a huge mess when draining oil. Instead of draining through the bolt its drained through the dipstick. i forget what its called. i know one of you guys know what im talking about because i remember seeing it here.

Don't understand why you would want it though...Did you put a wrong fluid in there?
Drain plug, loosen filter, done.

I believe he might be looking for this:
Mityvac
I have one and use it but not for oil changes. For oil changes, I am looking into
relocating the oil filter to simplify changing it, I change mine every 1500.
Yea, overkill I know.

I have one I use on my I/O boat called a 'Topsider'. You can buy it at Overtons.com
You won't be able to remove all the oil, though.
It's a necessity for a boat and handy for certain other things but it's worth the extra effort to drain everything using the drain plug.
