interesting conversation about draining oil

[LongRanger_imp]

I've always changed it hot, only because it's folklore, but I think changing it cold makes sense too. Like most of you, frequent oil changes are probably more important than hot vs. cold. I've never suffered an engine failure in 40+ years, so it's probably moot anyway.

Before reinstalling the drain bolt, I usually chase out any remaining oil with a few ounces of new oil. Once I see new oil flow out, I figure the old stuff is completely out.
