Oil change

[JimCub48]

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.

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

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

filter does not clean " 100% " of each oil cycle" . a "new to you" cub could always benefit from a couple oil/seafoam changes . coppersmythe...............

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.
