For hthose of you that change oil on your own, did you ever think about using this oil pump. its so that you dont have to unbolt the oil drain plug, but pumps oil out of the oil dipstick tube. it looks handy, but dont know how efficient it is. anyone try this?

Do it myself, always have always will. If nothing else it's piece of mind that it's done correct.
