yeah that's what i have. i didn't open the little yellow ( green in my case ) hole at the top . after i realized what was wrong i just opened the drain hole in the front nozzle and it drained in fast enough to keep up with the car, but that's hard to do when your hand is covered in oil. by the way. after sloshing it up to advance auto, i don't like the pan anyway. lil's idea is better. one "open" bucket to catch the oil, another container with a lid to transport.

the day wasn't the best anyway. we tried doing the jetta first and ended up turning the oil plug the wrong way so now it just spins in the pan rather than coming out. so i guess i'm stuck ordering a new oil pan for the jetta. (unless someone has any ideas) at least i didn't do that with the boxster. *phew*
