I see no benifit of doing that. I could pull the drain plug out and plumb in some sort of pipe to suck the oil out of. The dipstick already goes to the bottom of the pan and the oil gets sucked out of there.
Swapping suking from the dipstick tube to suking out of the drain plug hole would probably drain an extra 2 ounces at best.
The oil cooler off the block is full. The remote heat exchanger oil cooler is full. The lines are full. There is probably a quart maybe 2 wuarts of oil left in the block once you take the entire oil pan OFF.
You will never get ALL of the oil out, on oil changes. No matter where you suck it from. There's at least 6 ounces In the cooler itself.
