Is there a better way to change oil? I hate those plastic oil pans...

Hi,
Is there any good device available to change oil from the dipstick tube instead of from the oil pan drain? It's awfully cold (well, relatively) in NY now and I'd like to be able to change my oil without jacking up the front and bothering with a plastic oil pan. Also, doing it that way always manages to make a mess. Is there some good vacuum device that can suck or pump the oil out of the dipstick tube? I'm willing to pay a lot. Thanks.

Alex
