Hey thanks for the link to the oil extractor. I ordered it online and put in coupon number 927-052-427 and got myself a free $49 soft-sided attache case item 35233-0CSD (shown in latest paper catalog on back page) for "stuff". Don't know if I'd actually pay $49 for it but for free, what the heck.

I really didn't want to keep turning my car over to the dealer for half a day to get the oil changed and pay the money when I can do it myself. This item (should) solve the problem of getting the car up high enough to get under and open the drain.
