You still have to get under the car to drain the oil cooler. It is not necessary to remove the oil line, just loosen the fitting nut until the oil trickles out. It is best to let it drain overnight. Don't forget to tighten the oil line fitting.

You might also replace the O-rings on the end of the rod attached to the oli filter lid.

A topsider wouldn't be of much help to me. It seems I'm away from home when an oil change is due. Last week it was in SC, once in TX and once in KY. I always try to change the oil close to the exact number of miles.
