If you're going to let the car sit overnight before the oil change, why not just open the drain while it's still warm and let it drain completely overnight? Then in the morning you just have to swap the filter, add fresh oil, and you you're ready to go.
The reason not to do that is because sooner or later you would be woken up by a phone call from your significant other telling you she took the car out for an early errand and she started hearing a "weird noise" before the engine just "died" on her and won't re-start. :poop::coffee:

Plans may change where I don't have the 30 minutes the next morning to do the job. That's never happened yet, but I'd rather have my car always ready to go. Say there's an emergency in the middle of the night where I need my car to get somewhere - it wouldn't be a very quick departure if it's on stands with no oil.
