I may be all wrong about this since it has yet to come up, but I've always thought the reason for changing oil hot was: Get all moving parts to normal running clearances, ie: bearings Get more oil into bearings, valve train, timing chain etc. There is no oil pressure until the filter fills and so forth, so I think I would prefer a warm engine for the initial start-up. Regarding burnt fingers, I change oil with the engine hot but not HOT! (since '67) Allen Hess === This list supported in part by The Vintage Triumph Register === http://www.vtr.org |
