I use a syringe (100ml) with a plastic tube. Cost about $3.00

Sometimes simple is the best.

Agree, but that's a lot of syringes for a gallon of oil!

[quote="Abraham"]I've a number of Honda engines mounted on mowers, pressure washers, etc. and they don't come with an oil drain plug. I have to remove the dipstick, lay them on their side and drain. A giant pain and often, a mess...
All of these probably contain <qt.

I guess I didn't make myself clear.
It's not the amount of oil in the various items, but the giant pain of having to fight with them to get the oil out. Ever lifted a Honda mower or power washer while the old oil drains out of the dipstick hole and maybe spills because of the extreme awkwardness? No? Trust me, you don't want to experience it.
BTW, I just used my new extractor and it works beautifully.
One of the best features is it's ability (with the flip of a valve lever) to also dispense the old oil into a recyclable container.
I didn't spill a single drop of oil.
What a pleasure.
Some of other equipment come with drain plugs, i.e. generator, brush grinder, zero turn mower, but it's still simpler/cleaner operation to use the extractor.
