I do the same as Cen Tex Farmer with the addition of: cleaning the oil pick up screen.
Remove the oil filter. I also dump about 3 gallons of diesel fuel in the engine, spin it over with the switch off, I don't want to start it, let it soak for until the next time I have time to mess with it. As short as a week and as long as several months. Drain it and fill with fresh oil and filter. Oil stays pretty clean for quit awhile.
Diesel will also let you know which gaskets/seals are leaking. I have had them leak when I 1st put it in and quit leaking after a day or so.
In one particularly filthy motor I used oven cleaner and a pressure washer to clean things up. I suspect that this was one of those motors the had never had the oil changed, just added to.
