And to think that I have been accused of being anally retentive concerning oil changes.
I have for years, however, done overnight drains and Paulsen is right, it will drip for hours and hours even when hot. The last drops that come out are the sludgiest.
Don't let my comment discourage you. Keep on changin'!
