I suspect this is lawn equipment. They do make kits to suck the oil out of the dipstick tube which can work on cars as well. I still don’t like this as there can be sediment and debris in the pan that won’t come out. It is still better than not changing the oil or only changing a small amount.
I hear some people do this with “non-serviceable” transmissions where there is no drain plug but a dipstick. They can do a partial change of the fluid by sucking out what they can which is better than not changing it at all.
More and more stuff is going this way from cars to cheap lawn equipment. I love how it says “Fluid lasts the life of the equipment.” Really, the life of the equipment ends when the fluid is worn out.
I got all my oil on hand or on the way, filters included. There should be no reason for a filter shortage but with how people reacted about toilet paper, I want at least one filter for each change I have one hand. I got two changes per vehicle based on my usage.
