This makes sense, although the sump plug is on a slight angle at the back, so I assumed using at home car ramps would place the open plug at a low point in the sump & drain the vast majority out. Without using a car lift, how is everyone managing to do this on the flat? Is it jack, axle stands, lower back off stands when draining and then raise it again? I certainly can't get under the 500 without it being lifted.Lol, thats exactly my thoughts when reading the the OP's post. There could be another area the oil is sitting whilst on the slope.
So unless you rule out doing it with the car on the level, by doing it with the car level....... its the cheapest option, IMO.
