I thought it was better to change the oil when the engine is warm, because more of the nasty stuff you want to remove from the engine (tiny particles of metal, and other dirt too) is suspended in the oil when it has recently been stirred up well, and therefore you get more of it out.
I could be wrong about that, but it seems like it would be a factor if that is true.

You missed most of this thread. We're discussing bio fuels made from cooking oil in fryers, not engine oil.
Yeah, I hit "n" to go to the next article and didn't notice that the subject changed (i.e. that I was on a new thread). Oops.
We now return you to your regularly-scheduled bio-fuel discussion...

No, the oil congeals. Turns solid. Has to be drained and handled while hot.
The reference is to changing the oil in a fryer, not changing the oil in an automotive engine.
