    I've only used a suction pump for around 5 years.  Haven't touched a sump plug since about 2018.

    Works perfectly.  Much less mess.  I do always roughly measure how much oil comes out, and it's always been the full amount on my cars. 

    I know on some engines the tube can't get right to the bottom of the sump, so can't get the full amount out.
