Yep i know one that does that also. Its saves alot of time they can suck it out in less than a min. ALso it stops the oil accidently dropping on the floor.

Workshops with hoists should have a raised oil collection funnel bay. It's like a container with a GIANT funnel on top. So no drips and it is easy to drain it out into the waste tank.

i agree and its better for the engine if all the old oil is drained because afer a while of not draining it can cause a build up and cloge the engine and starve it of oil

if someone managed to drop the oil out of one of the drain stands then they shouldnt be doing it alone, its not that hard to do anyway
