I normally change my oil on a warm engine. Got started with other things last night and did not get to actually draining the oil while the engine was warm. It is jacked up now, belly pan off, front wheels off, and would like to not have to take it down to run it until warm, all other things being equal. I buy into the physics of warm, cycled oil holding particles in suspension better (and therefore likely draining more completely), and if opinions are such, I will take it down and run it warm. If opinions are that draining cold will be equally effective, if not simply longer, then I'll do it cold.
