Also, the storage of the oil in the unit until disposal is an added plus. I used to use one of those big water cooler jugs.
Im with you there! Im gonna get me one of these also. I have been putting off changing the oil on the srt because as the years go by, the less I enjoy doing something simple as an oil change.
I have other things to do, if I can do it without having to bust out the jackstands and worry about spilling oil on the concrete I am all for it.
As far as gravity being free, has anyone ever pulled an oil pan after drainging the oil? Its not all bone dry. You never get all the old oil out.
