If you are draining the oil via that little flap in the undershield be prepared to get an arm full of oil when it initially bursts out. I purchased an oil pump and it works brilliantly. Only cost about 30 quid and sucks out virtually all the oil

make sure you have a big enough tub to catch the oil- there's 6.5 litres in there!
