If ya don't do this, your putting new oil in with old nasty dirty oil.

No reason to leave the drain plug out for two hours. It's sufficient to do it until the oils stream turns from solid to drips. Once you're down to a ten-count between drips, you're done. None of my cars have ever failed me due to oil change issues. As a matter of fact, I used to have an old 1951 chevy truck that didn't have an oil filter on it (it came with one, but it was the source of too many leaks). I just changed the oil every couple of months, regardless of driving. That truck's been running on and off for more than 20 years doing that. Never leaked, always ran. I had more issues with the carb gunking up with varnish after sitting for too long than oil issues.

No reason? Really?

Two simple yes or no questions for you:

1#. Do you think dirty oil and metallic particles are not remaining and clinging to engine parts after you quickly screw the drain plug back in?

Yes or no?

#2. Allowing engine oil to drain thoroughly does not help eliminate a good percentage of dirty oil and metallic particles?

Yes or no?
