Either really Brian, although I was thinking of the Caterpillar at the time.

Surely it would be a different story if you try to change Engine Oil while running ? - on any machine ...... Oil pressure could be an issue....

The sump does not maintain oil pressure!
This is the only method guaranteed to remove almost all traces of the old oil from the engine as otherwise small amounts of oil remain in various places in the engine which can only be diluted/moved to the sump when the engine is running.
The ideal oil change method surely would be to drain the oil conventionally once and then run fresh oil through the engine whilst it is running.
