Re: to drain or not to drain
My father ran a '31 coupe from new york to florida on penny a quart drain oil..in 1946..the service stations back then would do oil changes and bottle the drained oil to resell.

Re: to drain or not to drain
It's all those environmental add-ons and taxes I guess. Online pro-line 10w40 from pep boys lists for 4.29 and is on sale now for 3.65. 4.29x5= 21.45.

Re: to drain or not to drain
I think if you try to R&R the oil pan with the oil in it you'll get a crash course on how to rust proof the garage floor. [ smiley face]
Oil isn't that expense or just wait until the oil needs to be changed. Its just a recommendation, but, if going thru the effort to drop the pan I'd recommend checking/adjusting the clearances. |

Maybe Ernie should drop the pan, he heard the noise.
