Question Any tips changing oil in 2004 Tundra DBL cab?

Looks like there is no haynes manual yet for changing oil and filter on 2004 tundra dbl cab. Does anyone have any pointers or pitfalls?

I have a 2004 4x2 Tundra Double Cab. Will be using Mobil 1 synthetic and Mobil 1 filter or toyota filter. Will be using a mitivac to siphon the oil instead of using the oil drain plug.

It was a suggestion of a friend of mine. He said that you can usually get more oil out by siphoning(referenced a test done on a toyota camry). He said that it is a hot topic. I just wanted to make sure that other people had not run into any problems with this method.

It seems the only problems with oil changes on the tundra is having to take off the fiberglass skidplate.
