Oil suction pump?
Discussion
Due to working away a lot of last year neither mine or the wife's cars have done much mileage, as in half their service intervals or less, so I'm thinking it's worth just doing an oil change and nothing else.
Are these suction pumps to get the oil out worth it compared to just dropping it out of the sump plug?

I bought one - a Pela on Amazon for ~ £38 and it's great, used it for power steering fluid and getting water out of an otherwise in accessible place. I would get one, but would recommend still changing the oil filter at a cost of about £6 why not?
