Timely post as I just came in from changing my oil on our '13 EX. I did it the old fashioned way. Drove it up on some 2x4's and crawled under it. I did the filter too. I used Mobil 1 year long oil last time (what I drained out) but since we only drove less than 5k miles in the year it's been in there I went with Mobil 1 0-20 Advanced Fuel Economy. Should be good for another year now. I need to double check what the MM says oil life is, but IIRC it said 40% last time I got gas.
My son has an oil extractor that has a manual pump on it. We used it to change the trans fluid a couple of months ago. I may have to look into borrowing it to do the oil next year or just plan on doing it when we're down there visiting. It worked well on the trans fluid, no reason it wouldn't work on the crankcase too.
Now, about that filter change....

yea i mean, any extractor that's powerful enough and has a thin enough extraction tube to fit down the dipstick hole should work.

so in my case i get about 1.5 quarts of gas in my oil in about 1500 miles during winter months.
Man, that much gas in your oil in only 1500 miles?

Your gas mileage must suck big time.
