Good idea, no? Probably a pain in the ass though..  |
Good idea, yes. Pain in ass yes. Likely to do it? No.
Its cool though cause its the kind of idea I'd come up with if I had more experience as a mechanic. I might wait till it gets really hot outside though and start it up in the mid-day heat. We've been getting the 90's here lately. I may do the draining idea and heat it up on the stove and pour it all back in the engine oil hole.
Anybody else? So far user3977's idea is the easiest and most tempting... lol - just start it.
