Except the oil drains better from the block when it is warm/hot.

yea, but after its been sitting over night, isnt all of it pretty much drained to the oil pan. just jack the car so the drain plug is at the lowest point.

either way, I dont think it really matters weather its been sitting over night or not, you are not going to get every drop of old oil out.

I agree though, I like top mount oil filters. I use a can cap to catch oil from the filter housing and then brake cleaner to clean the rest up. easy to get to and can be done with out making a huge mess.

i made the mistake of attempting to change the oil on my rx7 15 minutes or so after running the car, the filter was still full, lol. Oil everywhere. ever since then i would let the car sit overnight before doing an oil change. i guess somewhere in my head i thought "oh it's upside down, oil should drain out of that really fast!"

WRONG.
