You definitely want the oil as warm as comfortable without burning yourself. Cold oil will more readily stick to the inside surfaces of the engine and will not drain out as completely.
If you've ever changed your own oil this is totally obvious. You can see when it is cold it comes out like syrup and when it is warm it comes out like water. The thinner it is, the more completely it drains. You want as much dirty oil out of the engine as possible. Oil change places don't just change it warm because your car came in warmed up. They'll warm it uyp if they need to.
If you have any doubts, call your Toyota dealer or a good oil change place and ask them. Ask the professionals, and even question them as to why. Over the years I have always called the dealer when I had questions about my car and they were always willing to explain why if asked.
But hey, you guys that want to change it cold, go right ahead. It ain't my car!
