Subject: Oil sump drains on IO-550-N

    The oil sump on my new IO-550-N (in my Legacy) has two sump drains.  One is on the left side, poised just above the ball fitting on the nose gear's gas spring.  That one looks nearly impossible to get at.  The other, however, is on the right side, and sits vertically in a depression in the oil pan.  It appears to be about as low in the pan as the other, and will pose no particular problems for oil changes.
    Any reason why not to use the side drain, rather than the nearly inaccessible other one?
