Who makes a decent oil-change pump? The perennial project car is occupying the spot I use for maintenance, I've got other cars that are thirsty for clean oil, and I'm not willing to work on them in the street.

I bought a Mityvac several years ago to make the VW oil changes easier. Was tired of having to remove the elventy-billion torx screws to pull the splash guard off to change the oil, and the Mityvac was great for that.
Then I bought a new VW, and its oil filter canister is mounted under the engine, so you have to remove the splash guard to replace the filter, so the Mityvac doesn't save me any time or headache on this car.

With a screw-gun, I don't find the under panel a big deal to remove - it takes maybe 30 seconds. I like getting the car up in the air to do oil changes as it forces me to take a look around under the car to check things - CV boots, gaskets, and so-on. Plus, the oil changes are when I do tire rotations, so I have the car/van in the air anyway.
I’ve been researching this very topic with few good results. Curious to see what else is recommended.
