Hey guys,

I put my s2000 away for the winter, but with the nice weather we've been having I am thinking of bring her back out a bit earlier. I do have a question. My s2000 has been sitting for about 3 months. Before I put the car away, I was due for an oil change. Would it be best to do the oil change first before starting the car, or start the car let the engine run for a bit.. cool off... and then do the oil change. Reason I ask, I was wondering if the oil change will help on the rough cold start. Thanks in advance

Check the oil level, start it, let it reach operating temperature and then go perform the oil change. You'll have a better chance of getting everything out if the oil is at operating temp, especially because the contaminants will be suspended in the oil instead of sitting at the bottom of the pan.
