I want to try changing the engine oil after the vehicle has been parked for several hours or overnight. Theoretically, this means that most of the oil has had a chance to collect in the oil pan. In other words, I should be able to remove as much of the old oil this way.
Consider that we live in a tropical, oftentimes, hot climate.
So, where do you stand in this?Last edited by oj88; October 16th, 2019 at 11:59 AM.
