Base on personal over 1000 time++ oil change experience

If engine is hot if oil cap ada bukak Drain plug is faster , the con probably if someone overtightened the drain plug well either changing oil pan or changing drain nut, welding the oil nut etc i guess?

Suction the tube is tiny take some time too delicate too tedious movings the tank, plug in the compress air tube, no physical muscle use for opening nut, no need go underneath is needed, so far i never heard the suction tube is putus and stuck at dipstick or oil pan, good for beginners i guess? Also probably is the only choice for drain plug is permanent welded without want to changing oil pan.

Unless engine full of sludge drain plugs or suction don't help reduce residue either

Both will get the job done.

I never actually know how engine flushing work via machine, if you want me to guess Probably via oil filter housing with all the attachment kind of stuff i guess? And got to use alternative cleaning agent because impossible to use engine oil which is not effective in cold is thick unless the machine can heat up the engine oil and also engine oil is expensive if machine can heat up the cleaning agent also a good for cleaning

I don't think you need frequent machine engine flushing if you do oil change frequently , also i don't think you can overflow the engine without leak during flush.

Example Compressor flush via machine in Malaysia minimum already RM 250 and above.

Most hydraulic power steering pump use automatic transmission fluid, anything with dexron 3 is more than enough.

Power steering pump do need oil change every 60k /km to increase the life span of your power steering pump oil seal, bush , gasket, etc

Now market many refurbished power steering pump you can insist refurbished your own power steering pump/rack if still serviceable and leave the car at workshop for 3 to 5 working day's if you okay with it , no need new power steering rack or pump, if workshop insist you to change new either chop you or workshop collect old pump/steering rack refurbished and sell again to earn more 😂

Hydraulic power steering pump/rack usually can last very long, my pickup truck dmax rough condition usage fluid change every 30k/km this year 16 year old still no sign of leaking at 500k /km , per fluid change/flush roughly rm120 x 16 time for my usage also roughly RM 2k 😂

I think not a bad luck i mean hydraulic power steering pump already very long and technically many improvement and very reliable , so either oil change issues or user like to turn the steering to the end still keep pushing without let go technically can build up unnecessary pressure and stress causing the leaking if fluid is full of material and oil seal is starting hardened .
