I dunno, perhaps I'm just an old school kinda guy, but, I like to drain from the bottom not suck from the top, I wanna see that last drop.

I bought a pair of ramps from my local Wal Mart (less than $40) and I have to tell you they work very well. While waiting for the oil to drain, I can pull the filter and clean and change the cartridge.

There's enough room to do the oil change and remove and replace the steering damper. These have been one of my better expenses for this car.

But to each his own -
