The above blanket condemnation of oil extraction is not accurate. Extraction is used in dealer service of Mercedes Benz vehicles and others. Many vehicles have 150+ K mile engines on nothing but oil extraction and replacement.
If the differential has a ton of miles, I can see pulling off the back cover and taking a look and wiping it out. Even in that case extraction is a lot better than nothing.
Extraction is used professionally in many cases with the blessing of the manufacturer. In some instances it may be the only possible method to change the fluid with part in installed position. It is a valid tool in the toolbox.
