O.K. to suck fluid out dipstick tube?
03 F150 5.4. I did a filter change and drain and refill at 30,000. I did not install a drain plug. What do you guys think about sucking out and replaceing a couple quarts out of the dipstick tube every 10,000 miles or so for the rest of the trucks life instead of doing a drain and refill again. Do you really think that the filter will ever get plugged up? Yes, I can get lazy from time to time!!!

As a side note, depending on the warrantee you have, it could void it, so be careful.
