DIY Oil Change on 35d

Hi,

Thinking I might do the in between changes myself. The extraction method looks very interesting. Seems relatively clean? Like I won't get bathed in oil lying on my back or leave a mess in the garage?

Looking for opinions, feedback and some hard information. Such as, how much oil does a 35d require? Can you get most of it out via extraction? Any hitches or tricks or worries?

I have a pancake style compressor. Rated at 3.5 SCFM 90 psi. 4 gallon tank. Is that enough? I saw a couple of 8 or 10 liter extraction devices on Amazon. My thought is to change the oil and leave the filter change to the service dept. That way I change the filter every other oil change. In highschool shop class (a VERY long time ago) that was deemed OK. Thanks!
