Warming the oil for oil change

[gathermewool]

I like to warm up my oil with a glass of wine, some soft music, and maybe a little slow dancing before changing it...

I'm imagining (obviously Redline!):

Wow, that's a new one I haven't heard yet. I have a family friend who pours a quart of new oil through the engine before putting the drain bolt back in so he can "get all of the old oil out". That is absolutely pointless and a waste of money in my opinion, but at least he changes the oil I guess.

If that oil can't drain when warm … it's not going to do well lubricating the far reaches of system.
My 0w20 flows out so fast that it splashes droplets everywhere.

Ironically it's our large industrial engines they want UOA samples from a hot engine under load taken from a valve in a cooler line. Now that makes sense and makes me question a bunch of "sump samples" that cause bickering on this site.

Nice name for an insult, "Hey Sump Sample!".
