FYI, changing the hydraulic filter I used the shop vac to get negative pressure so the oil didn’t gush out. My son took the filter off while I put the hose in the hydraulic oil fill. Absolutely no oil gushed out. Only had to refill the oil used to fill the filters. A worthwhile cheat helps save money and making a mess.

Just make sure it's sucking air and not blowing air in.... I only plan to make THAT mistake once... what a frigging mess that made.
True but there is only one way to hookup for vacuum. Pays to check before putting the hose into the fill. But it works great.

Another tip make sure you dont put too much vacuum on the fill port. At least on my b2650 while nothing spilled wgioe changine the filter the inside of the vacuum hose was drenched with oil.
