Yup, screws into the bottom of the oil pan and the hose is permanent. As usual heat up engine prior to removing oil and takes about 30 seconds to suck out. 1 per engine.

If you decide to do it this way get about 4' of reinforced hose, the type that is used for fresh water system. Attach it from the hose to the pump & your set. After the change while removing the reinforced hose from the brass end of the oil hose jam a peice of paper towell to avoid leak out.
