If your going to the trouble to change your own oil, please spent the extra time and get under your vehicle and have a good look around for leaks and other potential problems, especially with a 12 year old vehicle. Don't waste your money on one of those extractors. This is how I found that my spring perch was failing.
I also ignore the FSS and change my oil (Mobil 1 0W-40) every 6K miles which is when I switch my summer/winter tires.
