You really don not want his. The 5 minute oil drain will occur after the
valve is snapped off and the case is destroyed. If you can safely and
legally drain the oil, you can use a wrench to remove the plug. Use a
good synthetic and you can easily go 7,500 miles between changes. Oil
analysis supports this interval.

228k, 7,500 mile intervals on Mobil 15w-50. Engine still not opened.
