I picked up a new device. Its called LiquiVac and it allows you to change your oil through your cars dipstick tube. It was $45 on eBay with free shipping. There were several vendors selling them.
The device holds 8 quarts of oil and has a generous amount of tubing. You give the tank about 40 pumps to form a good vacuum.
This tube is laid flat against the dipstick and using a sharpie mark the length of the dipstick. As per the instructions insert the tube no more than 4 inches past that mark you made.
You twist this tab then massive suction occurs. The oil rushed out of the oil pan to my amazement. It never lost suction.
This is a shot of just before all the oil was suctioned out. It took about 6 minutes to fully get everything out. The tubbing starts to hiss air and all you see is bubbles in the tubbing indicating you're done.
All said and done the oil change took about 10 minutes. Toyota wanted $20 bucks for the oil filter but i bought it at the Subaru dealership for $9. I used 0W-20 Eneos Oil. I've been using this brand and its getting me good gas milage and gotten rid of some weird sounds this car was making when it was new. (Its 2 years old now by the way) As it was my first time using this oil change method i had my doubts if all the oil was gone. My buddy and i pushed the car up my low profile ramps and i unbolted the drain bolt plug and to my amazement sure enough no oil left. Just some drips but thats to be expected. The filter came with the crush washer so i buttoned it up and added my oil. I'm sold on this oil change method! No mess whatsoever and it was fast. It seems durable and like it may last a while. If the tubbing gets damaged any auto parts store carries it so i think its a good investment if you're pressed for time and don't wand to put the car up on ramps or perhaps its too low to jack up. I suck at reviews but wanted to share with the community
