If you drain the oil from a cold engine, the contaminants will have settled to the bottom of the oil pan and all the dirt and stuff may not drain out.
X2, this is the main reason to do an oil change while the oil is warm.

BUT how many of you add alittle oil to your filter before spinning it on .. remember the center hole of the filter is the NON-filtered side and we all know we fill it that way LOL i also check my filters for extras like metal when they cut the threads i have seen a few filters have some extra metal in the threads .
Neon, you gotta stop using those Fram oil filters!!!!
