When I drained it hot, at least twice as much came out as when it was cold.
Sure, there might be a tiny dribble, but I don't want to wait 2 days for it to drain, thankyou.
The whole idea of the thermostat is to block water flow until the engine is hot.
I'll bet you $1000 there is a weep hole in every thermostat made

So you used to be a service manager, eh? No wonder people are weary of letting other people fiddle with their cars...I
Yeh, a newb that thinks he knows something! (yupnope) We need more of those.
You have no idea who you are talking to or what they know. What have you ever done to cars? Cheap ass APC wings and stickers dont count. I've done more things with engines and stereos and other car related stuff than you will ever do in a lifetime. I have a complete turbo kit, intercooled, greddy emanage, full 3" exhaust all hand made by me. Not a thing was bought other than the intercooler core and the turbo. I cnc'd the flanges fabbed all the piping brackets mounts etc. I have 12 speakers and 3 amps all sunk and hidden to where you cannot even see them. I have custom made suspension tie bars and linkages, made by me. I've made and sold over 40 of the hood prop kits. I've helped about 10 people put together their own turbo kits.
And to top it off my car was totaled when i bought it, and i rebuilt it.
Now onto my cars in the past, an Audi s4, a 300c, a 325is, a 4runner, 2 beetles, a Saab 9000, not a one of them was left even remotely stock.
And I'm currently working on a turbo kit for my ZX6-R, and rebuilding a SHO motor to put in my '06 Freestyle.
O'ya, my cars have never and will never be to ANY service center.
Now try to tell me that you know more than me and that draining antifreeze hot is a GOOD idea.
