Default fluid evacuator won't work on sc3

since i use mityvac 7400 fluid evacuator for oil change on my bmw, and it worked perfectly (bottom of the dipstick hole locates at the bottom of the oil pan so it sucks out every drip). this means clean oil changes without jacking up the car/ramps and making a big mess

i decided to try it on my sc3 and give a review.

It didn't work well. it was only able to drain 3 quarts of oil, out of 5-5.5qt. i did top it off with 3.5 qt and changed the filter. my next oil change interval will be in 2k miles!

I am not sure if it works on sc4 or other lexus. if the dipstick hole doesn't go all the way to the bottom of oil pan, it will not work.
