I bet if I searched, I'd find the answer for this, but I am being lazy.
So, I am going to drop the engine soon, come hell or high water. I need to drain the oil out of it. No problem. But I have always had it burned into my skull that you need to let the oil heat up before draining, and my engine has not run in a year, and won't start right now. Its a dumb question, and I am almost embarrased to ask it, but will bad stuff happen if I just drain it cold? I can't imagine that it would harm anyhting, but better safe then sorry. Zach |

It will just take a little longer to drain out. If you are tearing it apart a trick we always used was after reassembly, ran it til warm for ten minutes or so, drained it changed the filter and put in fresh oil. I know it sounds a bit wasteful but we always felt the little tiny not visble to the naked eye stuff etc was now flushed. It always made me feel better, could be all in my head but that is my routine.
