He's a handy tip, suck all the oil out via the tube where you add the fluid before removing the pan. What a messy job if you don't and also raise the vehicle as high as possible.

 

[kyriacandro]

Yeah good idea thanks. Im gonna do it on ramps souls be high enough ?

 

[greenacc]

Yeah Ramps are ok. Even better if you can suck out some fluid before you remove the pan.
Otherwise it's just going to make a mess on the driveway when the oil spills out the low end of the pan.
Put a wide tub underneath to catch it and you'll be fine.

Yeah I'm going to suck it out with a tube through the filler neck. How much you think i should take out first ?
