I think it's better not to drain it at all.

It's impossible to get all the oil out anyway, and I think it's probably better to have a little dirty oil mixed in with the new stuff than to have a few (more) seconds of zero oil pressure while the system "reloads" when you start the car.

Great point...I didn't count but I could hear the

cam chains WAAAAY to long after starting for my comfort. I'm with you, better to oil it with old oil than no oil at all!

LOL! I actually have a new bumper in the basement...

I just need to get off my you-know-what and get it painted. Bigger issue was the clearbra...I did not want to have to pay for that AGAIN, so I am working on a "warranty" claim due to yellowing film

Actually, I may just go with another vendor entirely, depending on the cost.

I fixed my bumper and it was great! I cut that whole piece off and you could not tell and would

never get hooked on anything. I cant take a pic of it since i dont have the car but maybe i have one on my computer.

Half right

That is the way the B5 RS4 oil cooler is designed - by Audi - to augment the stock 2.7T oil/water cooler.
