I did a topside oil change on my Cruze today using my trusty MityVac 7201. The little dipstick tube was used. In under 40 minutes including rummaging for tools, the listed capacity of 4 liters of oil was siphoned up, the old cartridge filter replaced with a new Delco PF2257G, and the car buttoned back up with 4 liters of Quaker State Ultimate Durability 5w-30 dexos1/SN.

During the first part of the change:
The dipstick tube did need some fiddling to get into the drain pan at first. Everything went smoothly aside from that. That was the easiest and least messy oil change I've ever done.
