Ran across a youtube vid ....evidently some oil change outfits are sucking oil out of engines through the dipstick rather than the drain plug. I don't know 'bout YOU but this does not seem very good to me
1...Won't sludge tend to remain in the pan, and maybe be large/ heavy enough to avoid the pickup tube?
2....I realize oil change places "ain't interested" but how do you notice any filings/ engine damage by this method
I realize this has tremendous advantages. You don't have to spend a lot of time removing that filthy belly pan, or getting your nose dirty. Why, you might not even have to get under there !!!
