[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 622027, member: 20098"] The heat isn’t really about getting settled particulates moving, that will be done once all the gears start moving. Because gearbox oil is circulated in a splash format, it is quite vigorously dragged up from the bottom of the case and thrown onto the gears and bearings. The requirement to heat engine oil / gearbox oil prior to draining is more about getting it to flow better. The hotter it is, the faster it drains, and therefore the less likely particulates will start to settle at the bottom of the case whilst it is being drained.
