Just came across the following video, of a 2010 Terrain owner who changes his own oil (and filter) using a vacuum pump (Moeller). Very cool, no need to climb under vehicle and drain dirty oil that way.
Anyone ever done this?
Anyone see any potential issues with using such a device?
I have no idea, however, where one would discard the dirty oil? (the receptacle shown in the video that he discards the old oil into; no idea what that's called...or one would get one? ..and then what do you do with it? Surely you can't just toss in you the local landfill?)

ETA: If a person does their own oil/filter changes, how do you have "proof" that you're doing regular oil changes should you ever have to provide proof of same to maintain warranty? At least if you choose to go to a place like Superlube or whatever (as opposed to dealership), you get a receipt....but DIY you have nothing.....but if you can DIY and save $ why wouldn't you?
