Convenient but not a complete oil change. The chamber with the screen will still have up to 2 ounces of dirty oil in it depending on the bike and if there is an oil filter up to 3 ounces in there.
It really takes a minimum of 10 minutes to drain all the old oil out of a bike when the engine is warm to allow all the oil oil to drip down from the head and more realistically half an hour if you want to do a good job. I usually use some carb cleaner to rinse out the bottom of the oil sump afterwards too giving it plenty of time to drain and evaporate afterwards before putting the new oil in.
Might be nice if they had an thinner engine flush option to clean things up a bit before putting the new oil in. Drain, fill with flush, put dipstick back and idle for 5 minutes, drain flush and fill with fresh oil.

Rockynv,
You are definitely right... But as fast and simple as this is, riders might tend to change oil often enough that the oil would stay "fresh" enough to be "better maintenance" than many of us perform in the driveway... A few low-miles changes like this and there wouldn't be very much "schmootz" in the residual oil anymore.
Of course, the frequency of changes would depend somewhat on the COST... LOL! In some places, oil is SERIOUSLY expensive, and there also has to be SOME charge for the convenience.
Still, it's a neat idea!
