They just separate the junk only to pour it right back into the crank case. At least like this you can pour it out somewhere other than your oil pan.
Yeah, I'm either doing short trips to local stores (1-10 miles) or driving to the airport (~25 miles). Mostly short trips like you mentioned though.

What kind do you typically recommend?
