Those who are trashing the Fumoto might want to actually look at on one in person...

Not trashing it, but given your setup I would still opt for the addition of an oil evacuator as you get more oil out. The Fumoto provides a narrower, and higher opening that allows a little bit more oil to remain in the pan.

Interesting - my memory is that the Fumoto spout is a little lower than where the hole in the oil pan is, so it it should drain just as much oil as would be drained by just removing a normal oil pan plug. But I'll have to take a look next time I have the car on stands.
