I have always changed oil when at full operating temperature and sometimes I will drive home and pull the car onto my car ramps.
I then crawl under and remove the belly pan and pull the drain plug and allow it to drain overnight and simply finish the oil change the next morning.
I always do my oil changes from under the car and have never used the topsider method.
I prefer to be under the car to inspect and look for anything that might be leaking slowly.
With our belly pans on these cars ya might not see a drip where ya park but you will likely
know you have a leak when removing the belly pan
If it is dry then I'm happy and mine always has been over the 9 years and 84000 miles I have owned it
