For my cart, using an extraction tool (sucking the oil out) avoids the lifting and disassembly/reassembly required just to reach the drain plug. The owner's manual suggests the extraction tool as an alternative to using the drain plug.

For one quart of oil, using the extraction tool (sucking the oil out) is much easier and faster.
