The plus side is that it saves the chassis and you only have to do it every couple of years. Good luck!

Good to drive over a dirt road immediately after doing that. The dust will mix with the oil and form a oily sludge that's harder to wash off than the oil alone...that stuff, if it builds up thick enough, can protect cars for decades.
