    When I was doing some research on these plugs I learned that one generation of oil pan had the plug facing the passenger side of the truck. One YouTuber said the first time he changed the oil with the side drain, the oil shot out past the side of his truck. Also every video I watched started with, get yourself a few sheets of cardboard, and some gloves because this is going to get messy.

    Plan for me, have one before first oil change on the new car plus will leave it on the hoist overnight so oil is cold.

    My BMW has a huge bolt and shoots straight down and splashes everywhere when I change the oil. I need a bucket!

    I have owned a MityVac for years and use it on oil, diff fluid and tranny fluid. Works like a charm.

    I have one too but the BMW and Mini doesn't have a dipstick for siphoning. Still works like a charm for everything else though.

    My parent's Toyota has the oil filter in the bottom of the pan.
    Takes a special key tool with metal fingers to open it up - the filter and all the oil come out all at once. Crazy design
