Dallas, sorry that's one of the bad things about dial-up, but I will see what I can do in the future.
One of the reasons I'm starting this Blog is because a few years back I was watching DIY as Mark Lambert showed how to go over a Packard and get it ready for the road. I know I don't have the nice garage he had, but I hope this shows some people any place will do. And also I plan on going into a little deeper in detail as I go over the car. So I am looking for help here to keep me doing things correct. Also if you see me doing something or know a better way, please let me know. I'm hoping to have these videos up and future hobbyist find this useful.
I have always heard to change the oil in an old car you need to drop the oil pan, easier said than done. But when you know what to expect it always makes the job so much easier. So that's what my next video will be. I guess this would be a good time to example why you had to drop the oil pan. It is my understanding, before detergent oil was made all of the heavy particles would fall to the the bottom of the pan where they would set until you cleaned the pan out. Now with detergent oil those particles are suspended in the oil and remove by the oil filter. How often should you clean out your pan with todays oil, I don't know but if you have never removed your pan, maybe you should.
It looks like it will take me about three or four videos, so as I go keep me on track.
Here's the start of the oil change:
