I'm NOT a fan of the suction method, I prefer the good old-fashioned gravity way.
Plus I get to inspect the underside and clean it up somewhat

The big red cap is where you put the new oil.
Full Synthetic please

The skinny tube, where your Oil Dipstick tube goes into, is where you suck the old Oil out vertically, under suction.

good luck
