Isn't that standard practice fora proper oil drain? :roll eyes: Which oil producer was it that ran that commercial in the 70's in which they would put their oil and a competitor's oil in engines on stands, run them, drain the oil and then run them until they seized. The engine using the oil from the producer of the commercial would aways still be running after the other engine seized.
I agree with the others people who think that the cold engine gave up more oil than the hot one because more oil was in the pan and not still making it's way back to the pan.
Regarding the 2.5 quart difference, I have no idea
