on a related issue, when you do the oil change, do you drain it underneath or do you use a pump? I used a pump but am not sure if I managed to drain it fully this way. next time I will remove the sump plug.

That question will turn this thread into a flamer.
I prefer to drain the oil hot and from the bottom (gravity) so that I can get a good look around to see if there are any potentional problems (fluid leaks, torn boots, etc.)
My belief is that if you catch a problem early on it is less costly to fix then a problem that causes the car to become undriveable.
