Another Oil Change Question
My car has been sitting about 2 months without being started. I need an oil change. Should I start the engine and heat up the oil and spread all the crap around. Or should I just drain it without starting. Let me know what you think. Thanks

just drain it... most of the "crap" is most likely settled on the bottom already.

Yeah, just drain it. No need to circulate dirty oil.

Hot! Cold will leave crap to contaminate the new oil!
