How long should after my car off would it be ok/safe to do an OIL CHANGE?

I simply don't want to get burned and or have it not get all the oil outHow long should after my car off would it be ok/safe to do an OIL CHANGE?you can change the oil immediately after you shut the car off from running it as oil drains much better when it's hot.How long should after my car off would it be ok/safe to do an OIL CHANGE?your grammar sucks, but you can change the oil right after you stop the engine, the oil temp is usually about the same as the water in a hot shower. however be careful around the other engine components like the exhaust, that gets really hot.How long should after my car off would it be ok/safe to do an OIL CHANGE?I always change after a quick drive. i only get a tiny bit on my hand sometimes and it's hardly enough to burn. the hotter the oil is the thinner it is and runs better so you can get the most out. I drive for a few minutes, drive up on the ramp and drain. then leave it draining for about 15 minutes and finish up. Wear latex gloves if you are worries about it and you won't feel the hot oil at all.How long should after my car off would it be ok/safe to do an OIL CHANGE?I do it at about ten minutes after shut down. This is only because it helps for oil to be warm when changing because contaminants are still suspended, and it flows easier. If you are dealing with excessively tight quarters and a bit of a lack of experience you should wait longer to insure you don't get burned. This time period varies as cast iron holds heat much longer than aluminum ect. Usually it is at least an hour before some parts are cool enough to touch.



The oil itself is rarely hot enough to actually burn you after ten minutes if that is all you are worried about.How long should after my car off would it be ok/safe to do an OIL CHANGE?wait at least 20 min to cool. the oil will be hot when you drain itHow long should after my car off would it be ok/safe to do an OIL CHANGE?Actually the sooner the better. Dirt in oil will settle on the bottom of the oil pan after a short time. Try starting the car and let it idle for a couple of minutes. This will allow the dirt to suspend in the oil without getting too hot. Good luck.How long should after my car off would it be ok/safe to do an OIL CHANGE?Oh I don't know maybe 10 or 20 minutes?



Actually, if my engine is cold I simply drive it for 2 miles [1 mile out and 1 mile back] and then drain the oil and it doesn't seem to be hot enough to cause a burn but it is definitely warmed up.



In summer when it is hot out it shouldn't matter much but in sub zero weather your oil could be considerably thicker and won't drain as well without warming up the engine. Of course it depends a bit on the oil you use as well. Still it is better to change it with the engine warmed up %26amp; recently run.



If your oil pan is warm then it is warm enough to drain the oil but if it is so hot that you can't comfortably keep your hand on the oil pan then let it cool for a while if you are concerned with accidentally burning yourself with hot oil. Personally I would be more concerned with burning myself on hot engine parts such as the exhaust. I have never burned myself on the oil.How long should after my car off would it be ok/safe to do an OIL CHANGE?be careful when you get under the car but the thinner the oil is the faster it will flow. the faster it flows, the more sludge and particulate matter will come out wit the stream. it is not that difficult to do.i do it daily at work in a lube shop.
