I use to change the oil in my BMW 740il by removing the drain plug and that was a pain in the ass. That car was big and heavy and low to the ground. I had to remove 3 shield to get to the drain plug. I'm not going back to that again.

thank you, im still learning so your opinion was greatly welcomed. Main reason is I wanted to change the oil myself verses paying them. I will check around for the cost.
