Warming the engine before changing the oil helps ensure that the oil is more fluid, allowing it to drain more easily and completely from the engine. Warm oil carries contaminants more effectively, leading to a cleaner oil change. Additionally, it reduces the viscosity of the oil, making it easier to remove from tight spaces and ensuring that the new oil can circulate properly once the change is complete.
