As long as we are talking about oil, changing, etc, and dripping... OP talked about the oil in the jug dripping. I think some of you got off topic. FOCUS But what about how long do you let it drip FROM the engine? I usually check the tire pressure while I am waiting. I do 36 and 40. Or 40 and 36? Only flat on the bottom Nah they want us to sludge up the other sections now rather than one dedicated section In the aerospace industry, something’s only considered a leak if it is 5 seconds or less between drips. Off Topic 38 psi front, 42 psi rear NOW we can get back on topic. |
I used to be a dripper-waiter but homey ain't got time for that. I simply do a quick pour, wait 'til it drips, then set aside. When done with the oil change, I use the bottles for the used oil recycling so I don't have to wait for the parts store guy to dispose of it. Win-win. ;)

Pour one in ,let in drain while i have a beer. Repeat.

When do you call it quits? Do you let the container drip dry, until no more drops come out? Do you pour until the majority of oil is out, then pitch the container? Or are you like me and use the Popcorn Rule(R) - you let the container drip until there’s a two seconds between drips? When is enough, enough? E-clip would approve of this thread ;) ..L.T.A. |

Popcorn rule...love it. Is that a worldwide known thing? It's what I do
I am forever impressed with the topics we find to discuss. I just can hardly wait to see what tomorrow will bring. Old school guys probably just said to themself, “one, two” and called it good hoping it didn’t void their warranty. Thanks for giving me a smile, maybe the world isn’t going to hell. |

It's the same as standing at the urinal. Empty it out, shake it a bit to get the last few drops out, then button it up! :D

It depends, Brandon. If you use new oil from the same container to lube the O-ring on the new filter then you need to let it drip two more drops than you normally would to compensate for the oil lost on the O-ring. If you use old oil on the O-ring then however you normally do it.
It doesn't matter how many times you let it drip. The last drop always ends up in your shorts. |
