[Mgs] Fw: 1973 MGB Oil Changes

[Paul Hunt]

Don't bother.  It's only a small amount and what is in there has been 
circulating through your engine all the time it has been running 
presumably not doing any harm.  With fresh oil in the crankcase you 
won't know it is there.

The only exception might be if the oil has been contaminated in which 
case the best thing would be to remove it and the hoses and flush them.  
You would have to do that with the engine anyway.
