I never change the oil while the engine is cold. I always at least run the engine for a few minutes, get things warm so the oil circulates and all the impurities, moisture etc... are actually in the oil when the drain plug is pulled.
This way you make sure when you drain the oil it's actually pulling out this stuff, the whole reason you change the oil in the first place, right?

I honestly never thought about it before. Sounds like a good idea. i do pour a quart of cheap stuff through while draining. You'd be amazed at the last little bit that hides behind.

I actually can't fill it, even if I wanted to on my DD. It's a Cadillac Catera. Canister filter type; only the cap and filter come out. On a side note, the cadillac is a pain in the ass to work on; everything has a special tool. Hell, even the oil drain bolt requires a torx bit. I mean, come on, WHY!!!???

They dont use torque specs in shops...time is money . commission.. hence a lot of comebacks..

Ive always drive the car at least 10 miles and let everything get up to op. temp.. Then after slightly cooling I drain the oil and run new crap oil(about a quart) to get the rest of the gunk out..till it pours clear...
