this thread seems to have twisted and turned more than some of my favorite roads! I say that because I got tired of reading it, looking for what I was looking for, so if I missed it I'm sorry, but here it is... so far as heating the oil, running it up in there and all that by cranking and letting it run and all that to check the level, yes. But cranking the motor and running it before draining? WHY put all that gunk and dirt back up in the motor before draining the oil??? I let my motor sit a day or two before draining oil to let all that dirt settle in the pan and come out of there! that's one of oils main purpose is to get all that out of the motor! yes, it takes longer to drain. I let it sit over night to drain too! that's part of why some of you are seeing over fill! you had oil all up in your motor!
