never would use one either.

at least removing the plug allows the oil to remove/flush anything sitting at the bottom of the sump..

always better to drain the old oil out of the sump plug as all the crud comes out with it.

I do it with my lawnmower and it's now 25 years old and still going strong !!

at the end of the day it depends how long you intend to keep the car.
