The sad fact is that some of these oil pans and it certainly makes no sense to me, that in the case of the GM 6.6 Duramax and the 3.0 Duramax as a couple of examples, neither of those pans are designed with as good of complete drain then they could have made them with by a fair margin. So getting every other oil change done by a sucking method that may not be quite perfection, its a far cry better than not changing the oil at all at that interval and having it done only every 10000 miles. And at Valvoline they never touch the drain plug by that method so one less thing to screw up is never a bad thing. Your watching and paying attention and making sure they fill the engine with oil and no doubt noting if there was ever any oil leaking at home for reasons of a leaky plug gasket or the filter not snugged up enough. I can just imagine how horrible ( way extended ) the average north american vehicle does get its oil changed in this current era and the amount of engines that run low on oil because of becoming leakers or burners and the owners having zero clue as they don't check the oil, after all they need that money for fancy coffees, doing their hair and nails etc ( ok maybe that is a San Fran exclusive on some of that 🤣 ) -
I'm also under the understanding that one should only extract when absolutely necessary. Otherwise, warm/hot drain and let gravity do the rest. Speaking of which, I did a change at 3k on my 3.0 last night (500, 1500, and now 3k). The one downside to 0w20 is that it drains like water when hot and less like oil. Lots of splatter you wouldn't normally have with heavier weights. It kind of made a mess, actually. No metal, so maybe there's hope for this little 3.0 yet... -
I get a chuckle when people say I ain’t going to the dealer. First find a good dealer check online to get a rating. Then if you only use the dealer and they mess up who can they blame? I only use the dealer through the warranty. But I pretty much been buying new vehicles through one dealer. Hyundai and GMC trucks. I did stray one time for a Camry. The deal was too good. They wanted to do 10K oil changes with their free maintenance. I bought a couple filters from them. Did the in between myself. After the warranty I did Valvoline in between and Toyota the other. -
It seems fine because it pulls everything out of a hot engine. I’m not going to worry about a thimble full with 5K oil changes with synthetic oil. Every other oil change is at Honda they pull the plug. I watch them through the process. It turns out going to Honda what amounts to their normal oil change intervals.

I tried tapping it. This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!
