As a licensed aircraft mechanic, and experienced in auto repair and servicing, I'd say that it's a reasonable assumption that heavy stuff will stay in the bottom of the pan. I have occasionally flushed a pan with solvent and found stuff that would never migrate toward any suction tube. Draining the oil HOT through the pan drain is much more effective. If it's still hot some of the crud is still in suspension and will drain instead of settling, and the faster flow will pull out more heavy stuff. Dan |
