Don't bother.? It's only a small amount and what is in there has be= en
circulating through your engine all the time it has been running
presumably not doing any harm.? With fresh oil in the crankcase you
won't know it is there.

The only exception might be if the oil has been contaminated in which
case the best thing would be to remove it and the hoses and flush them.? You would have to do that with the engine anyway.

Don't bother.  It's only a small amount and what is in = there has been circulating through your engine all the time it has been running presumably not doing any harm.  With fresh oil in the crankcase you won't know it is there.  

The only = exception might be if the oil has been contaminated in which case the best thing would be to remove it and the hoses and flush them.  You would have to do that with the engine = anyway.

Don't bother.  It's only a small amount and what is in = there has been circulating through your engine all the time it has been running presumably not doing any harm.  With fresh oil in the crankcase you won't know it is there.  

The only = exception might be if the oil has been contaminated in which case the best thing would be to remove it and the hoses and flush them.  You would have to do that with the engine = anyway.

Don't bother.=C2=A0 It's only a small amount and what is in = there has been circulating through your engine all the time it has been running presumably not doing any harm.=C2=A0 With fresh oil in the crankcase you won't know it is there.=C2=A0=C2=A0

The only exception might be if the oil has been contaminated in which case the best thing would be to remove it and the hoses and flush them.=C2=A0 You would have to do that with the engine anyway.

I have a 1973 MGB.=C2=A0 Other than dr= ill and tapping the oil cooler with a drain plug, how can you easily drain out the quart or so of old oil from the oil cooler during a oil change?
