Agree that your method is good, and a lot easier. As long as you change the oil frequently, leaving a little old oil behind is not a problem, especially if you use synthetic oil. I use Amsoil fully synthetic small engine oil in our carts, which is probably overkill, but I would rather overprotect than the other way. Just be careful not to overfill. Lastly, it is easy to strip the drainage bolt threads in an aluminum block engine, so pumping the oil eliminates that risk.
