You should run engine atleast untill it reaches operating temperature before draining oil for an oil change. Circulating the oil before draining will stir up some of the loose stuff so it can drain out. This helps to decrease the amount of sluge that will build up in an engine. Also, changing at the right time instead of waiting to long will help also. Also, some oils are worse about building up sluge than others.

Run engine for short amount of time and then change oil. Just an idea.
