Your driveway will stay a LOT cleaner and the oil change will cost less overall if you re-install the drain plug BEFORE you start adding the new oil. (Fortunately, I discovered this tech tip after only about a half quart.)
Done that too! Luckily it was at my own home. Imagine if I did that in front of Francois?!

Always place oil plug on top of the can containing new oil. Best wishes, Kare

Make sure the filters are full and run it at low revs, cause it can spilt the oil out the breather pipes all over your nice clean ferrari garage floor andthen bingo NO oil pressure 70psi is good on load I guess and half that on tick over ona old engine
