Do you think that removing the drain plug removes more crud that would stay otherwise using the suction method?

Which might be harmful for the engine, if left there?

Thanks for your reply.
The Topsider actually removes more oil than the conventional drain method, so that's not an issue. If your oil has crud in it, you're either not using a diesel rated oil, or your engine has been poorly maintained.
