Trust me, no hose is EVER going inside my engine! Instead of using the dipstick tube, I will be using the engine's oil draining pipe instead, which is connected directly to the bottom of the oil pan (see schematic). I have a larger diameter extractor hose that fits around (not inside) the draining pipe--nothing goes inside now.
In hindsight, I should have done it this way; but I've never had a extraction tube break off in a dipstick tube.
