I've installed this model on countless Honda and Hyundai, Attach a hose and drain directly into a jug. No mess, no fuss, easy disposal. You have to get under to remove the filter so why not go one step further?

You only have to get under the car every other time - and depending on the filter location may never need to go under the car at all. I don't with my ridgeline.
The extractor is way easier and incredibly fast and clean for a top side change - 12 minutes from drain to refill.

This. My goal is to never go under the car again. I want to alternate between getting oil and filter changed at the local independent Honda garage and doing oil change only myself with extractor.
