There is much to said in favour of using the normal sump drain plug method.
As said above, you have to get under to remove the filter anyway on the NC, and it’s good practice to allow the last drops of oil to fully drain via the plug; they usually contain the dirtiest part of the oil, and the action of lifting the front of the car for access will incline the sump plug to the bottom and rear, to where the last filthy oil will flow. I usually let mine drain fully, even when warm, for at least 15 minutes. It takes me that long to remove and replace the filter at least.
You car, your call…
