Worth it or wasted
Going to do my second oil change this weekend. On the first change I
ran a quart of oil through after draining just to help flush out some of the old oil.
Do you think this is a waste of good oil or could it be worth it in the
long run?

Don't waste the $. Just make sure the engine is up to operating temperature before changing the oil. Make sure the front of the car is slightly lower than the rear so the drain plug is at the lowest point on the pan. Leave the plug out till all oil stops running out - about 10 minutes and you have it all. Leave filter off during the drainig process.
