yup, I always warm up the oil before changing it.
Well, I didn't change the filter, but I guess I'll just do the next oil change at 2700 miles instead of 3000.
I didn't think it was worth it to spill oil all over the car (when unscrewing oil filter) for 300 miles worth of dirt.
I did decide tonight that I'm going to hold off on the test pipe and instead flush the brake fluid and coolant, change the sway bar bushings and replace all vacumn lines. Maybe even the intercooler pipes..
