I used to have quick drain valve installed , after about a year i had a leak around oil pan gasket, took it in shop, they removed the oil pan to replace gasket. They found a thick layer deposit of egr soot or dirt on the bottom, i was told possible because the cross section of quick drain valve is way smaller than oem plug. I don't know how vacuum draining works, i guess sticks a hose through oil filling tube it oil level check, i believe won't drain properly the bottom dirt deposits.

I always smile when I read or hear guys talk about “quick drain”. Not sure where the name came from, but every one I have ever saw is a “mess free”. There’s nothing quick about them.

I've wondered if there maybe an issue with incomplete drains. Haven't confirmed it though. -

I never pay anyone to change my oil, mind you I'm kinda hard core at times. when I changed my oil this February in Yellowknife NWT at -45 instead of paying someone to do it, I cant afford that ####.
AModelCat Thanks this. -

Sure you might only save $40 or so but who typically does oil changes at a shop? The young and/or inexperienced. There's something to be said for being able to look over your own rig. You care about your iron. The guy spinning filters doesn't.
Phantom Trucker Thanks this.
