Re: Change OEM oil filter every second oil change?
Checking the oil cold is probably the most accurate way to do so, because you can guarantee that all the oil in engine is in the pan not slowly dripping down. I believe the reason it's not the recommended procedure is that the oil is not at operating temperature and therefore of a lesser volume, despite being an equal mass. If I checked it cold I would just expect the oil to be slightly under the full line to compensate.
