Are there any problems with these oil change pumps?

Yea, they don’t get it all. They get about 98%

The commercial ones that my buddy uses at WM seem to get more oil out than using the drain plug.

How is that possible? Help me with the logic here?

I have one and tried it on several of our vehicles. It just wouldn’t get enough oil out to suit me. Plus it is slow. I prefer the old fashioned way.

Has anyone tried tilting the vehicle so the oil goes toward the dipstick?

I have a Mityvac I've used successfully on gearboxes, small engines, transmission fluid drain and fills to reduce mess when dropping the pan (if they have a dipstick), and certain vehicles where it's faster to pull from the sump vs. accessing the drain plug - looking at you, Audi/VW .

They pull just as much as pulling a plug and if they don't, the difference is inconsequential.

I just got my EWK 10.5 liter one so I'll let you know.

get one that you connect your air compressor to so that it creates vacuum instead of constantly pumping. Way quicker.

I use one for the boat engines.

I finally got a chance to use the oil extractor.  It worked really well.  I got the hand pump.
Now I wish I would of got the air pressure one.  
I did put the Slingshot up on one 2x6 to raise the right side and it appears to have put all the oil over on to the left side where the dip stick is.

The one I got has both manual and air.

I bought one years ago to change the engine oil in my boat engine. It worked good enough for me.
you won't get all the old oil out of an engine even using the drain plug in the oil pan,

We put some on 413 and 513 duetz air cooled dsl in a hovercraft.
Made changing oil a breeze and less messy.

Used a air pump.

I would recommend the motive. It is a hand pump, but simple to operate. Suction is just a bit slower than ideal, but fast enough to empty my diff in a few pumps and about 10 min.

I got a cheap electric one from Amazon, so far, it has been great.  Beats the heck out of the vacuum pump one I had.

Got one of these and used it today. The manual is a little Engrish-y but usage is pretty straight forward. Got all 5 quarts out of my Outback in 30 minutes or so.

You'll need a place to hang the hoses to let them drain properly.
