Have any of you used a Pela oil extractor to change your transmission oil? (An oil extractor works by sucking the fluid out of the top, through the level indicator tube. It works for crankcase and transmission.)

I switched out my tranny oil about 6 months ago and used a Non-Mercedes fluid. I want to switch back to Mercedes AT fluid, but don't need to change the filter. Internals are clean. Since this is the case, it seems reasonable to simplify the job by just sucking out the old fluid and replacing with MB fluid.

Two concerns: Do the extractors, such as Pela 6000, provide you tubing the right diameter and length to accomplish the job. Is one able to remove the same amount of fluid by extraction as standard method, i.e. under car?
