Sure Frank, after the engine is warmed up, and I'm ready to change the oil, I have to "release" the vacuum that my system creates or the oil wont drain from the pain. The first time this happened, it scared the s&*^ out of me, I thought I had forgot to put enough or very much oil in it. After opening the filler spout, the oil drained freely as it had always done before.

Also, be very careful while playing with this, it does affect the oil pressure. If you use thin oil and low oil pressure, it messes with the bypass valve in the pump.
