i found the oil that had been sitting in my 262 hudson engine for years looks brand new and golden on the dip stick but, i was advised to pull the pan because some of the contaminates that settled out might clog the pick up when i start it. i still haven't got around to doing it, but i think i might do it just to be sure. i am not saying you are wrong at all crenwelge, i don't know. i wonder if mine would be fine, but i hate to take a chance.
