Quick oil drain

Mark,

Now there's something not often considered when chaging an oil pan! That was definitely good thinking to run that simple test before installing the pan. It's good to know, thanks.

When I was a young lad, my Dad taught me how to change oil. He also taught me to jack the car up so the oil drains more efficiently. He then told me to let it drain overnight. The really bad stuff is in the last bit of oil. He had a '62 Ford Falcon with over 180K and no engine rebuild. I have been doing this to all of my cars. I had an '89 Mazda 323. Bought it new and sold it with 187K. The only engine work I had done was to have a valve cover gasket replaced.

Its best to drain the oil hot, most of the garbage is then suspended in the oil & drains out with the oil, any sludge in the motor will be more likely to flow out when its hot as well.

I hate draining hot oil, seems I always burn myself with the oil or on the exhaust system, but it is what's best.

So my advice is run the motor until it reaches operating temp, jack the car up, pull the drain plug, then go sip a buttery nipple while the oil drains. Pre-fill your new filter with oil. By then the old oil is good and drained, and you can finish the job. You may need a second buttery nipple before the job is over, and a third one to celebrate when it is.

George,

How do you think your motor would perform if you filled it with buttery nipple instead of oil?

Michael,

the motor would perform about the same as the owner, BITCHEN!
