interesting conversation about draining oil

[the Ferret]

I just thought it interesting. I had never heard of anyone changing oil cold, had not been taught that way and never considered any other way than changing it warm. Another wives tale? Or is there science behind it?

The part about reintroducing dirty oil (and it's contaminates) back into the top end is what really got me to thinking.

Tim makes a good point too, putting gunk into suspension so it can come out, but how much of that gunk will get trapped in the head/oil lines/and on our bike (oil cooler) if you heat it up and circulate it through the system?

Unlike a typical oil thread, this conversation is relevant no matter the brand or weight.

Also had not heard of anyone changing gears without the clutch though lol

I must live in a cave lol
