Run the engine to get it up to temp, remove the filler cap and dip stick and insert the tube and suck out the oil. I also made a device that clamped to the exhaust pipe and ran under the oil filter that acted like a gutter, so when I removed the oil filter, it captured all the leaking oil and ran it down a channel to a container. Never a drop. Then with the converted gas can, it is easy to extend the neck and transfer the oil to the recycle container.
Lowell, That is a great tip. I now look forward to my first oil change
