How long do you let your oil drain?

If I die in my sleep, it will be devastating to my wife. No need to compound that with her car being undriveable. And yes, I seriously think this way.

Yeah, but what if you have a heart attack or something instead and you need to be driven to the hospital and of course the car doesn't have any oil...

Maybe around 15 minutes or until it drips very slowly.

Think you screwed up the quote a bit, but, assuming it was meant for me, not going to happen. I live alone, but if neighbours were to help they couldn't drive my car anyway, since its a manual transmission and hardly any Taiwanese can drive them, plus they'd be scared by its appearance and assume it was unsafe. When I lived with my gf ditto, plus she had her own car, plus we were about 100 metres from a big teaching hospital. Plus there are ambulances and although medically clueless they are fairly quick.
