I try to plan it so that it pointed up hill and to drain it cold. I figure letting all the oil drain into the pan overnight is slightly better than warming it up a bit and having to wait for the oil to drain down from the valve cover etc. Besides, playing "hot potato" with your drain plug usually results in dropping it in the drain pan or in the dirt. The part I would like to do better is getting the filter off without making a mess on the front diff.
Has anybody tried stabbing the top of the filter to see if that drains the oil out better?
