I'm with you....I don't wait 4-6 hours but long enough to remove the last drops.  Have done that ever since I was young and dumb and my grandfather chewed me out for wasting oil.

another?

It always bothered me that there was still some oil in the bottle. So
I use that funnel, to collect the last drop of oil. I put the bottle
into the funnel and invert the bottle. Leave it that way for 4-5
hours and you'll get a lot more oil out. 6 quarts will often leave
enough as 1/3 quart of oil in the bottles.

I figure every drop counts.
