It isn't as easy as changing engine oil, as there is no single point drain plug. However, you can remove a single return line and drain it from there. It is that easy. All those who want to remove 20% of it at a time with a turkey baster just want to avoid getting their hands dirty, IMO. No, it isn't as critical as engine oil, but if you are going to the trouble to change it why not do the job properly?
