This one (or equivalent made by Pela) is what I use. 20 or so pumps of the handle and let the vacuum do the rest.

+1 Paul. Warm up the engines and that thing sucks one dry in 20 seconds flat. I also like the ability to remove the lid, place it on a new pail of oil and reverse flow; great for filling deisels that take a lot of oil with little access to hold a 5 gal pail over the oil fill.
