When warmed, the oil drains faster. When cold, takes a little more time to run down, but when cold it's all down low anyway.
I do it when engine is cold and let it drain for a good 30-40 minutes, no rush.

The other reason for it being warm is that you can check the oil level a lot sooner because the engine is already warmed up.

This can't be emphasized enough if it's your first time - it's like an upside-down volcano eruption. I still have remnants of the embarrassing stain in the driveway.

I use a giant cooking oil funnel I found at walmart in the BBQ grill section. It has a very large opening. Then that just sticks into a oil jug that walmart carries in the automotive section. A lot less mess then trying to use a oil collection pan. I also have a ezcarlift.com that gives me the room.

I think everyone should do as you do and provide a link to smart purchases like that, or do you work for the Walmart corp?
Just added the two items since:
A. I have a 10qt V10 that is quite the fun flipping oil pans around as one fills
and
B. Am about to experience my first oil rush from the 911
Thanks!

Just to reiterate, if you’ve never done it before, when you pull the tank drain plug, prepare for about 6-7 quarts to exit in about 5 seconds. It comes out incredibly fast and splashes quite a bit Even if you have a normal, flat bottom oil drain pan. Don’t even think of using the ones that have the little hole in the middle of them to drain down below. It’ll overflow that style almost instantaneously.

I use an anti-splatter pad like the 'Lisle 38750 15" Round No-Splatter Pad' to prevent splashes. As for oil drain container, as A418t81 mentioned, it needs to have a sizeable hole. I think mine is the 16qt Hopkins Flotool (from autozone).
