Consensus on Cold Oil Changes

[homesick]

Hot oil changes are an old wives tale. Sludge sticks to the pan, it doesn't float around in the oil. And if it did, the filter is supposed to catch it.

I've been doing cold oil changes for about the last 30 years and run most of my vehicles to about 300K, no problems.

Old wives aren't necessarily liars or stupid.

It's not about flushing the sludge, it's about the grit and contaminants.
