Oil Change OCD

[KRS]

I’m sure there might be a few chirps over this but I’ll put it out there for those who might be prone to being a bit OCD! I have always let my oil drain for several hours to get the most out that I can but realize there is still oil in the pan. So I roll a single paper towel into a tube and put in through the drain plug hole into the pan. It wicks about 6 oz of oil on my Shelby after sitting for a while.18D9B41B-2259-4953-93ED-622CE2CE91E1.jpegDBF288CB-0471-45BC-B55E-796102B0B24F.jpeg

Fact of the matter, engines, cost huge these days, few extra oil changes go a very long way.

Dump some fresh in with the plug out.

Yup, that's what I do.

I’ve poured in new oil in the past, kinda like this to pull that last bit of oil out of the pan.

My oil change OCD is limited to putting a bit of fresh oil into the new filter before installing.
Wicking out every last ounce of old oil is expert level OCD.

I like to remove the oil pan and clean it with each change.

I like to remove the oil pan and clean it with each change.

That’s a bit excessive for me, I only pull the pan every third oil change.

Screw that action, if it needs an oil change, trade dat puppy in for a new one.

I've always been told factory oil is the best so I just leave mine in. It's sealed so why do i need to change it?
