Same under the rocker cover with a TD5 on good oil there is no sluge.
I only use Castrol Magnatec 5w40 , 10K changes with both filters.

The TD5 also has the best oil filter system from the factory of any engine I know of too

I used to do that with my Moto Guzzi, but only because the dills put the oil filter in the sump.
