I've never used one. But I remember back in the early to mid '90's Jiffy lube sold a special pressure fit oil drain plug so that they could vaccuum out the oil instead of unscrewing the oil drain plug everytime. They claimed the same thing, that it was beneficial because it sucked out the crud at the bottom of the oil pan. But suspect it was a gimick to sell the plugs and save them time so they could do more cars per day. It's funny that they don't use that system anymore?
