Oil change
Is it best to run the cub to warm up the oil before draining , or drain the oil after it sits parked for awhile where everything has a chance to settle to the drain pan. Just curious to see what the different opinions are.

Re: Oil change
Warm it up first, then drain. That way all the contaminants and moisture are in suspension.

Re: Oil change
Don't forget to flush out the filter canister with some kind of solvent after draining it.

Re: Oil change
I always find it helpful to put a couple of boards under the left hand side tires before removing the oil drain plug. That way more of the oil drains out of the pan. - Seems like there is about 1/8" of oil in the bottom of the pan after draining.
I do run the engine enough to warm the oil before draining.
