If you monitor the fluid level in your master as well as the pressure in your Motive it's a piece of cake and if you use the Porsche aluminium cap there are no chances for a mess ...

Just sayin ...

From my college inorganic chemistry class: if you rinse a clean motive bleeder with fresh fluid twice the residual old fluid is essentially nil.
If one wants to just bleed, the Motive can be used empty as a pressure source with no mess at all.
It will inject air if you go through the entire volume and don't pay attention. Pay attention.
Nothing wrong with the Mityvac...numerous factory shop manuals now show changing the oil on the ground, no hoist, no drain plug. Not my preference.

Cool! The Porsche/German cap seems to be the trick. Do not use the universal system. My experience was way back when I had my Miata and probably due to operator error. Now who did I loan my MityVac to? ha ha. Thanks for the tips!
