changed my oil today and let it idle for about 2 minutes before driving off.....is that alright or should i let it idle until completly warm next time...just curious to know if it even matters..btw..2000 JDM ITR...castrol syntec 10w-30...no harm done hopefully.....i just figured to let it cylce through like any other warm up and run her....thanx

 

Doesn't really matter. The purpose of letting it idle is to use that time to check for leaks and make sure everything is kosher before driving off.

 

w3rd ---thanx

The oil you put in your car, unless it was in the frigerator, is room temp. Think about when you start your car cold in the morn....that is worse. When you drain oil out of an engine there is still about 1-2 qts left in the block so lubrication immediatelty after an oil change is no problem. Dont worry....no harm done to your B18C5! Doesn't hurt to warm the car up though if it has been sitting awhile.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Eh? 1-2 quarts left in the block? That doesn't sound right....

 

1/2 quart tops

 

after the oil light goes out and you've made sure that there's no leaks

 

After filling the oil, I always let it idle for a few seconds after the light goes out, shut it off, and recheck the oil level.

 

do i have to take my subs out my hatch to chek the oil cuz they heavy and i thaught maybe it would tilt my ride and make the stick dip not reading right.
