it's good an engine is warm for draining oil...for oil and filter change..service etc..
=.does anyone notice if cold changes are suffice? esp if in no hurry? etc?

Good idea if you are bringing a non running engine back to life , otherwise I would run it to working temperature so it drains out faster and because some dirt sludge will be in suspension with the oil ..
