I have no data to offer, but a question on one of your statements:

How much oil do you get out in the last 23.75 hours that you don't get
out in the first 15 minutes of draining?

Perhaps more importantly, how much do you really think it matters that
some small fraction of a quart of dirty oil is diluted by the fresh oil
you pour in?

Just wondering,
Mike Kohlbrenner
