    Thanks will do the what you do as that makes sense, and like the idea of leaving it a good while like an hour. Thanks for the info.

    There's air in there and if it's been sat for a while with temperature fluctuations , condensation occurs . I always feel it benefits from a bit of a warm up .

    Need thought of condensation within the engine. A warm up first then drain out the oil. Thanks
