Or do like they did way back when and just drain the oil into a big pan the night before, heat it on the stove and pore it back in the engine right before you start it :-) I've read that was a pretty common procedure way back in the T model days. Wouldn't really care to try it now, but has anyone here ever done that before?

I've also read about people lighting a candle under the pan and letting that heat things up. I could see that procedure going bad real quick though.
