Poll: Draining Engine Oil; Warm or Cold?

[dr. d]

I thought gasoline stations are willing to get your used oil for free.

that may be.
but i still have to bring it to them.

Instead of overnight drain.. much better to do oil flushing using the cheapest monograde oil.. like petron mo40 nasa 135 pesos per liter.. use 3 liters to flush..

Kung meron lang po akong Proper tools/equipment + the updated Maintenance Manual ng Certain Brand ng sasakyan..

Ang dali sundin ng DIY..

kung home based at limited ang gamit,

Kung sobrang Warm ng Oil, paso ang mangyayari.. , kung malamig naman ang engine, hindi naman lahat ng mantika, drain sa oil drain...

"Normal Temp" saka start lang ang sasakyan ng 30 secs. to 2mins, para lang mag-circulate yung oil..

Saka yung "Flushing Fluid" na sinasabi... chemical yan..

Engine Oil pa rin ang pinaka-effective na "Flushing-Fluid"

Crank ang datingan dyan... paandarin ang starter ng few seconds.. habang flushing..

para walang residue habang flushing..

Dapat ang Oil na Gamit... kung FS.. yun ang gagamitin, kung Mineral Oil, yun lang din..

Hindi dapat pag-haluin ang FS at Mineral Based.. magkakaroon ng chemical reaction saka sisirain yung mga rubber gasket(s) nyan pag dating sa makina..

You can use cotton gloves and cover it with nitrile gloves.

Cotton gloves para iwas init. Nitrile para incase na matapunan ng oil is hinde makakatagos sa gloves. Sa umpisa hinde maiwasan na masalo ng kamay ang pag drop ng oil, pero matutunan din po paano iwasan afterwards. Darating ang time na no need na mag gloves and kahit isang patak is walang dadapo sa kamay.

Marami klase ng pang “flushing”. Pero para sa akin, unless contaminated ang engine oil, like nahaluan ng tubig, saka lang ako gagamit pero with the same engine oil.

Depende kung ano temp niya sa time na available ako mag oil change.

I usually drain overnight to it doesnt matter.

Iwas din ako sa sobrang init ng makina dahil susceptiple to stripping the thread of the oil plug.

Answered "cold" kasi that's how I did it during my DIY days (college)

Pero hot when I started working kasi wala na akong time, so service center ko na sya pinapagawa

[ninjababez]

voted doesnt matter ^_^
i do it usually after 30 minutes (or more) naka park, mainit naman lagi so mag drain talaga ang oil.
tapos pag patak patak nalang; i jackup passenger side, then driver side. yosi break, youtube, or kain muna bago punasan bago kabit drain bolt; next naman yung oil filter hehehe

When engine is cold, oil is thicker, thus, draining it when warm would be better as the motor oil is less viscous

Di ba mas malapot pag mainit? San napunta yung 0w30?
