Oil Change Q's

[BLK33T]

Hey,

Just a quick question. Should I be cranking my engine over with no spark/fuel etc after changing my oil each time?

I here that all you need to do is disconnect the plug at the back of the rocker cover to do this (SI RB25DET).

Would it be worthwhile?

Any thoughts would be appreciated

No just start it up, let it idle for oh, 5 seconds then get on your way.

I just start the car and let it idle for a little bit so the oil can flow everywhere before driving off.

When u change ur oil, run it until the oil light goes out then wait another 10 seconds. The oil pressure sensor in right next the the oil filter, so when the the light goes out it means the filter has oil, but the rest of the engine doesn't. Once there is oil all through the engine, recheck again and top it up again.

And...........check underneath for any signs of oil/wet bits that should not be there before heading off to (insert destination) dude. I been caught before.
