So what is the difference in this device versus just draining the oil, turning the engine over a few times and pumping the oil into the pan and thus draining it out into the drain pan.

I am just asking!!

3 quarts from pulling the drain plug, (oil tank???) plus oil in the filter, and another quart out of the return line with the Scavenger.
Yup. Very little in the crankcase I suppose, but a lot more than 'a little' from somewhere.

OTOH, where was it that I implied the 3 quarts was from the crankcase????
