I agree, but on the other hand your tube goes right to the dipstick track
that goes directly to the back of the pan, so any shavings would end up
there. Plus I also said I would flush it out with brake cleaner and change
the oil right after so you would clean them out.
Plus I don't think the tube section would fall beyond the dipstick track on
the pan.
