It is rare (never say never, but so rare its almost never) for a PPI to include any type of 'invasive" work on a car so dropping the oil sump wouldn't typically be included in a PPI.

Inspecting the oil filter during a PPI can be done fairly simply without having to drain the oil and what small amount of oil is lost could be topped up. However, the potential buyer and the shop would need to get the owners approval before doing such work.
