I just looked it up... the 2.0T uses a canister spin-on oil filter while the 3.0T uses a cartridge, so that probably explains why different tools would be required. Carry on. Apologies for veering OT...

See the photo where it is sitting on top of the radiator, the white semi-rigid hose is in his hand.

This can won't fall over, won't crack like plastic, remove pump. cap the hole, and you transport the oil to a recycle place. Easy to dump the oil out into another jug, etc. It also won't implode as easily as a plastic one.
Bob, Thanks for the recommendation on the oil extractor from Amazon. It worked like a charm and made changing the oil a complete piece of cake. It couldn't have been easier. Thanks again!

I'm glad it worked ok for you.

Make sure that you screw the lids/fittings on carefully as you can cross thread them easily.

My neighbor just bought a powered extractor, waiting to see how that works.
