Has anyone changed their oil without the car up?

Another happy extractor user here, the ease and convienence can't be beat IMO.

Consistent extractor use and always pull about 99.3% of the oil out. Dump 6qts. and motor on. I don't consume much if any between changes and can judge by where it ends up on the extractor barrel as to when I have it all out. If your using liters, the tiny bit extra for dumping in 6L won't bother anything.
Extract that little bit left in the filter housing area too after taking the cartridge out. So a big middle finger to all those gravity drainers throwing shade about extractors not getting out all the oil
. I still get under the car at each tire rotation for a little look around.

In my youth decades ago, I worked part time in the household section at this super market when a customer came up to me and said she wanted to return a bathroom scale cause it kept showing a lower value.
I told her so what’s wrong?

Ya I made sure to suck up the oil that was drained down from the filter area.
When I drop off the oil at AutoZone will they be able to measure it for me or do I just dump it and leave? Also, does anyone know approximately how much the bare minimum oil level is safe for our cars? (how much oil is in the car when its at the bottom line on the dipstick?)

I doubt they'll measure it.
when filling it stop at 4 qts and look at stick, 5 qts and look at stick, then 6 qts. That will give you a good enough reference.
simple answer is you need to the bottom of the hash marks or whatever the manual says.
