I've done this on boats where you can't get under the engine. I even own a hand suction pump that will get the oil out in way less than 30 minutes. Gadget guy has a pump that goes on an electic drill that works even better. Good for all of us, eh? The method works for the MB in the movie, but I still claim that you'd have to be pretty agile to change a Volvo filter without reaching underneath. In fact I'd pay money to watch.

Topsider. What a name. Invokes images of the yacht club set, g+ts on the porch as the sun goes down, waiting for the sunset gun and watching the stowing of the colors. I'll continue to lie on the ground until such time as I have the lift installed in the front yard...
