The suction pump actually is very effective. The principles is exactly as those suction machines are used in dealerships. But unfortunately they are not available here.
On the other note you are right "casabonka" about getting under the car because even with such machine yet somebody has to go under the car in order to change the filter! so in conclusion not the best use of 50 bucks for some one like me who has just one car to service a every year or so.

@mohit, thanks for the link. it is a pretty good and comprehensive step by step guide. I appreciate your effort there. Nice pics too. before seeing your guide I had no clue where is the sump bolt! (-:

Just couple more question for you guys:
1- Do I need 2 or 4 jack stands? and how strong they should be? (they have different weight levels)
2- I bought my car second hand I at the time I didn't notice it's missing the accessory pack (you know the bag with some screw drivers and wrench or etc) is it possible to buy that bag any where?
3- I found autobarn, supercheapauto and repco for parts and supplies, which one do you think worths the time?
4- How to get rid of the used oil? obviously it can't be thrown out.

Thanks again for all great infos.
