Default Ever heard of or used a system called "Oil Scavenger"

Has anybody ever used or heard of an oil change system called "Oil Scavenger"? It was highly recommended to me and I am about to switch from regular to synthetic oil and it appears it would be advantageous to use in this case. Any thoughts or comments will be greatly appreciqated. This is the web site that best describes it along with a video.

I would be using the model RC-140 for my Tri-Glide. Thanks.

It does exactly what it says it does. They work fine. It's up to you whether you can justify the cost vs reward.

Use a quality oil filter and get one of these if to trap any metal fragments that will be in the oil and you will be good to go >>> http://www.shopfiltermag.com/

Am I wrong, is the engine running to purge the oil??? Would seem to me that if you did that the oil would pump into the oil tank and drain out. Not too sure how good an idea that is. I've been driving and riding for 50 years and never used anything like that. Just don't see a hundred bucks worth of advantages.

I'm with you 100% its just another item to lift a few bucks from ones wallet. Use a good synthetic oil and change it when its supposed to be is all that it takes. I've built and wrenched on engines that cost $30,000+ and we never worried about the extra qt of old oil left behind.
