Hi Ron,

Please leave old oil in rather than none! Far better chance of survival...
Check out the old trucks that have been maintained with judicious
application of waste oil underneath. Or old British motorcycles. :0)

Had a friend who reved the sh** out of his old Studebaker while he drained
the oil to be sure all the old was out. Finally got that perfect oil change
with the rebuilt motor.

Old oil better than none, but of course new is best for storage. Just run it
a little to make sure it has circulated. Do youself a favour and change oil
fiters every time. Or even more often than oil changes if hours are low.

Opinion again, for the going rate.

Draining the oil was a good thing. Used crankcase oil is acidic.
Always drain it and replace with fresh when storing an engine. It's
even better to drain and leave empty than to leave used oil in the
engine cause a little surface rust is easier to deal with.

My opinion, worth what you paid for it.
