I wasn't planning on changing oil today...

I don't think that it is applied dry from the factory but I do think that the machine overtorque's them. The case of JP 90915-20004 that I got have a plastic cover over the filter area and the seal is heavily greased. Enough grease actually that I couldn't convince myself to add a thin film of oil.

 

Actually, any motor you're changing the oil on, at any kind of a regular interval will have at the least, trace amounts of metal. Usually there is a considerable amount of metal that ends up suspending its self in the oil while the engine is running. This is absolutely inevitable due to bearing, gear, and piston ring, skirt wear. You idea of letting the particulates settle is a good one in theory, but it just doesn't pan out in principle. Why do I know this, well I pulled pans off my race cars on a regular basis and tested that idea my self. If it isnt sticking in the pan, its sticking to all the little nooks and craneys inside the block, and head. As for the 911 hot motor and oil pissing in the wind, I understand. But why would you change your oil outside anyways? All we used in our race cars was royal purple racing 11 and racing 2005. The 2005 is a 0W-5 oil, and I managed to make it not "piss in the wind" at 200+ degrees, so I would imagine you could make yours not..

 

errr...it's called a "metaphor".. and i have studied waste in liquids...seen them under microscopes...not sayin it isnt a good idea to change oil, warmed up..but the math..nevermind.

nothing to see here.
