Oil change on a warm or cold engine?

3 min read

Should an oil change be done on a warm or a cold engine? This question matters for how effective the whole job is.

Why is warm oil better?

Warmed oil is thinner and drains better, carrying more contaminants with it. When cold, some of the thick oil stays in the engine’s nooks and crannies.

  • Warm oil drains faster and more thoroughly
  • It carries away more suspended contaminants
  • Less old oil is left in the system
  • Beware the risk of scalding with hot oil

A safe change

Ideally the engine should be warm but not boiling hot. Our technicians carry out the oil change safely and cleanly, at your address.
