interesting conversation about draining oil

[coach50_imp]

Not so much the flow rate of the warmer oil, but any 'gunk' that has settled has a chance to be put back into suspension so it is flushed out.

I'm thinking most if not all of gunk should be captured by the filter, unless its pieces of really small gunk that passes through the filter. In which case I'd imagine the pieces would be brought to the sump by the returning oil anyway,to be drained out with the oil. Just MHO.

For me, the bottom line either approach is less important that following the recommended maintenance intervals.
