I have the Mityvac 7201 ($85 on Amazon) and it works great. It is a little bit more money but it holds 8.8L and you can also use the pump to get rid of the old oil/fluid.

The difference is that yours has the hand pump outside the storage cylinder. I didn't know it existed when I bought mine, and would have gotten it instead due not so much to the increased volume (although pumping the old gas out of a leaking but full tank might of made it worth it), but that pump out feature. Dumping it out with a funnel etc works fine, but if I had an AT I would really like that pump out feature I think.

This is such a handy item for keeping the valley and pits between the heads on a 928 clear. Once you use one, nobody is willing to do without.
