The only dis-benefit I see from this is that it discourages one from going under their car.
Also...if the car has sludge.....some may be flushed out the drain plug by the conventional method.

I am wondering how much of sedimented crap (if any) is left on the bottom of the pan when you change oil this way...I think it's great to have such an easy method, but i'd do at least 1 pan drop/regular OC per every 5 with the extractor, just to make sure that whatever little amounts of oil that gets left on the pan doesn't turn out to be some big problem later on...

Perhaps...I think your idea is sound....however...I don't think we have a bunch of sludge build up changing to fresh oil and filters every 7500 miles either.
Your way is prudent I believe.

Yeah i didn't REALLY think or know there's sludge, very probably not, esp. with syn. oil, etc. I am probably too careful, but as soon as we get a place with a garage, i am also going to use an extractor, and then just do 1 "normal" OC every once in a while, just for the peace of mind. I am sure you guys will be fine with how you guys do it.
I am also going to get a UOA when the car gets to about 40-50k miles to see how things are wearing...

See my post regarding the oil pan after long terms usage of oil extractor. No worries.

Thread revival -
Dane- any updates? how is it holding up? still sucking well ?
where can I find a BMW oil filter wrench, and do you guys tighten the oil filter cap by hand and just wing it? does it have to be a certain Nm amount?
which O rings do I need to change when changing oil filter?

New filter will come with o ring.Thread revival -

You can get filter socket at Amazon, ECS, etc....
I tighten mine to ensure o-ring is seated, then I just snug it up plastic to plastic (housing to cap). I don't torque it. 18.4 ft-lbs is the required torque though.
Power Extractor still works like a champ. I do a drain from the plug about every 4th oil change.
