Why does it make a difference if you run the car after slightly turning the plugs vs after the total change? There will be the same amount of carbon broken off, and it will take the same route out of the engine either way. There is a remote chance the carbon will get hung up on the exhaust valve, but I think this is a wives tale. Kevin

I believe that Fred D. talked about that and also Fred believed in pre-wetting oil filters with oil so that initial startup oil pressure would not damage the filter when dry.
