Oil Changes

Is it really necessary to warm the engine before changing the fluids? And why?

RE: Oil Changes

YES. IT ALLOWS ALL OF THE OIL TO DRAIN AND TAKES ANY CONDENSATION WITH IY. OIL FLOWS SLOWLY WHEN COLD AND STAYS IN LONGER. THE DIFFERENCE IN COLD DRAIN AND WARM DRAIN COUND BE ALMOST A PINT. YOU WANT AS MUCH OF THE OLD CONTAMINATED OIL OUT AS POSSIBLE. WARMING UP IS REQUIRED TO DO THAT.
