I did buy the primary oil funnel thing-a-ma-jig. That thing looks like it'll work fine.

I take a 10"x4" or so piece of card board when I do my oil changes and slide right under my filter when i take it off and lets the oil drain right out past the frame and into my oil pan. Works like a charm for me.

Don't bother with the primary on either, I tried it on both my '04 & '06, it won't stay in place at all.

I use a two liter bottle. Lay it on the side, cut the bottom off and cut a fourth or so section of the body of the bottle away almost all the way to the pour spout. Now you can slip it underneath the oil filter mount. The oil runs down the inside of the bottle and out the same hole that good ol' Mountain Dew used to run through.
