The B18C1 takes 4.2 quarts of oil and the oil pan is on the left side, GSR anyway. I don't know about the B18C5, probably the same though.

i'd jack the car up from the front jack point (brass mount below radiator). then lower the car during draining to really get everything.

a pan made specifcally for oil, then drain it from the pan to a jug of some sort, then take the oil back to kragen or autozone for proper disposal.
