as has been mentioned already, I don't trust anything other than loosening the plug. even though I always use full synthetic in everything, extracting oil from the top will always leave sediments in the bottom of the pan. will the build up over time and cause a problem? I don't know....maybe not. it still freaks me out though. it just doesn't seem like a bid deal to stick a jack under the front subframe, raise the car, put a couple of jack stands under the corners and crawl under there. can you replace the filter on an e30 from the top? seems like the manifold is in the way?
ps: my f350 takes 15 quarts of oil. I couldn't imagine pumping that out the dip stick.
