Thanks, Admin. I'll leave your beef with the other guy between you two.
Here is a link to a website about changing the oil with the Topsider MVP vacuum canister. I've read elsewhere that they work well. Since the oil filter on the Crossfire is on top, it makes oil changes a breeze.

Here is a place to get the Topsider MVP vacuum canister. I found one locally at a boat supply retailer. This link is ugly so if it doesn't work, try a Google site search at
