Oil change Hot or Cold
« on: November 18, 2005, 01:46:51 PM »
I wonder how many people start their engines, get it to temp, and then drain the oil

vs

just letting the oil drain after it's sat for awhile

me personaly, I'm not in a rush so I drain my oil when it has sat for awhile...

Is there any difference other than speed???

I do cold after it sits awhile, more of the old oil in the pan instead of in the motor    I could be wrong

Hot. I believe it has more suspended particles. Correct me if I am wrong, I am always here to learn. I let it drip a looooooooooooooooooooong time, sometimes overnight.

I agree plus the oil is thinner and flows (drains) better

One of the first cautions in the manual states" If parts replacement is necessary, replace the parts with Suzuki Genuine Parts or the equivalent....

So where are those part numbers for the Suzuki Hayabusa Ghetto Stage 1 turbo system?!?!?  :lol:

I usually drain the oil while the engine is cold, then start it and let it run for 10 minuits to get the rest of the oil out of the engine

  I always seem to find more small particles in the oil after draining and revving the motor to redline for a min of 2 mins.  My method kicks your ass...!
  ps,,, COLD , your motor was hot when you last just it off probably.  sj

I agree with Dolphin. Go for a 10 mile ride and come back home and drain it. I also let it drain to the last drop. :)

It doesn't matter as long as your filter is working.  Sounds way to anal to worry about...

i alway's did it cold, my thinking was that the particles would settle or drain back to the pan during the cool down time while the warm/hot oil was draining back to the pan. thus leaving more dirt in the pan for the drain  :?

But as GND111 said: THAT'S WHY WE HAVE OIL FILTERS!

(he does have a VERY good and valid point here!)

so now the question: Is it worth the debate?  :lol:
