406ci 575hp stroker re-start
hi, after 4 months of forced stop because of a crash i'll re-start my C3 stroker again and i wanted to change oil and filter even if only 500 miles on them, question: should i change oil and filter BEFORE i'll restart the engine OR it's better i'll start it, let it warm up and then have a better oil drain then change it? i'm worry the oil won't completely drain with the cold engine...thanks.

The engine is abt 2.000 miles, i've changed the oil and filter 3 times already (for a better run in), then i had an accident and the car was forced for a 4 months stop, now everything is ready for a re-start, the oil into the engine is a bt 500/700 miles old...change before retart or warm the old oil first then change oil/filter?

Change now, get 90% new stuff in there. Start engine and warm it up. Change it again.
