Driving around a bit doesn't hurt.

Make sure the filler plug comes out before you drain it! (Voice of experience) 
Electrolysis between
the steel plugs and the aluminum case can make this a challenge. Use some 
anti-sieze compound on
both of them before you reinstall them.

Getting older by the week, just like me. Last week I was 51, this week I'm 52!
