Laugh if you want, but I have been using these oil valves for years with no problems. Just connect a tube from the valve to a gallon jug and open it up. No cleaning to deal with. Still need to do the filter but these valves make the bulk of the clean up super easy.
If you do your own changes on a regular basis, it may be worth looking at a Fumoto valve; makes changes even faster/simpler.
Get yourself something like this and never look back. You take a small hose, afix it to the valve nipple and toss the other end in a milk jug and enjoy your effortlessly spotless oil change.
It replaces your drain plug, so you just put it on the next time you change your oil, which hopefully will be the LAST time you have to worry about cleanup at all.
>I should probably do my own oil change, now because it will save me any money (it will actually cost more) but just so that I know what's going on.
If you make a habit of doing your own oil changes, replace oil drain plug with a valve like this one, because fuck oil pans.
Jesus, get one of these:

Shit will change your life.
FYI, one of these gives you the same function in a better design.

This makes things extremely easy to change. Just have a hose and open it up and goes right into your pan.
just get the appropriate one of these. Makes oil changes take seconds and no dirty hands. Pro tip: add in some plastic tubing and just tuck that shit away and you don’t even need to crawl under your car anymore. They’re dope.
There are easier ways to achieve this...
So in my 06 LBZ I moved from conventional oil to a synthetic blend (T5) then to a full synthetic (Shell Rotella T6) at my last oil change. I also purchased a fumoto valve, that replaces your drain plug at the bottom of the oil pan, and has a ball valve in it, so you can hook up a hose, and then open the valve and cleanly drain your oil into a catch pan, or jugs or whatever your using. Now that I'm at 10k mile intervals with the T6 and I don't daily drive my Duramax anymore, I haven't had to do an oil change yet, but will be doing one at the end of the summer. Lots of oil threads on duramaxforum.com as well.
It's a DIY version of this...

I have a 2015 Touring. I added 30% tint on the front (which nicely matches the rear privacy glass), OEM window deflectors, Rokblokz mudflaps, JBR Rear sway bar and brackets (to reduce body roll in cornering), Fumoto Oil Valve - F-106N(for easier oil changes), McGard Spline Drive Lugs, and changed my wheels to Rays RE30s 18x7.5 +50 with Yokohama YK740 GTX 235 /60 R18 tires.
All these mods were easy to install, except for the RSB. That took a bit of time, but the install instructions are detailed and straight forward.
Happy modding!
Dude, idk if you drive German or not but I have a VW and got sick of replacing the crush washer ever 3 times so found this: https://www.amazon.com/Fumoto-F-106N-Engine-Drain-Valve/dp/B003T7XUE4
Been using it for 5 years now, no issues at all!
Jesus. That's terrible. Don't go to a dealer.

Fumoto 25 bucks so you have a clean easy drain for when you keep doing it in the future.

35 for pennzoil oil thats way better than whatever generic shit theyre pumping into your car.
So its 44 bucks for the oil and the filter for premium oil. 70 with the sweet valve that will make it a snap for the rest of your life.
Also, if you're considering paying 79 for a cabin air filter FYI you can get one for 12 bucks on amazon and pop out your glove box in 3 minutes and do it yourself.
