I was going to do the wife's oil change tomorrow but wasn't planning on changing the filter. The vehicle is a 2007 Ford Escape 2.3L and holds about 4.6 qts with a filter change. She is at the end of her 5k OCI with Quaker State 5w20 and a MC filter.
Since I'm not planning on changing the filter this time, I want to be sure to get the most oil out of it I can. Does anyone know if I would be able to get more oil out with the extractor if the car is sitting on level ground or would I get more out if I parked it on a slight downslope so the oil would sit more towards the front of the oil pan?
