I installed a Fumoto drain valve at the first oil change. The end of this valve has a nipple that accepts a common hose. I like a clear hose so I can see the progress.
Drive onto ramps.
Shut off engine.
Lift the hood.
Remove the oil cap.
I stick the 12" hose onto the nipple.
Stick the other end into a milk jug.
Move ball valve lever on drain valve into open position.
Wait a few minutes until the jug is full.
Move ball valve lever into the closed position.
Remove full jug and place new jug into position.
Re-open ball valve.
Close it up when the pan is completely empty.
The nipple points toward the rear of the car, and the drain hole is at the rear of the pan. I'd say almost all of the used oil is draining out. There's ZERO mess when draining. There is a tiny amount of mess when disassembling the oil filter cartridge assembly.
I'm very pleased with the steps I've listed here.
