Letting it cool for 10 mins helps get it off a bit quicker which makes it easier to quickly flip it upright.

Don't risk it, drop the oil hot and you will get enough out if you let it drain 15mins. I usually only give it 10mins.

If you are concerned about getting all the old oil out, drain it, put in Woolies ElCheapo, (don't forget the sump plug) run the engine, then drain it and change the filter.
Nothing like hot oil everywhere to reduce the rust worries.

I did an oil change recently and gave the jug a shake before i put in the last litre. The oil came out of the container looking very cloudy and i was wondering if maybe the oil additives settle out on the bottom. I don't think the shaking aerated the oil but i am not sure. It looked cloudy rather than foamy. Has anyone seen the same kind of thing?

I do this on my motorbike every oil change. Oil out, new oil in, plugs out, filter off, crank until it is spitting out gold oil (maybe 20 sec total in 2 or 3 parts). But my bike is dry sumped with around a foot or so of line to the pump, and then maybe 1/2 foot to filter. Thats the only oil it is clearing.
Probably no point in a 202"

Only if it has water in it, and you give it a real good shake.
Modern oils should be nearly clear, and shaking it in container will give bubbles and the same colour oil.
