I'm not so I may as well leave it a long time. No loss even if the gain is tiny.
Special case, then. But hardly anyone uses their car overnight so I can't see the reason for the prevailing hustle.
Afraid someones going to steal your front wheels while its jacked up?
Want to be at full readiness for the zombie apocalypse?
Exactly. People die in their sleep. I want to finish the job and button everything up before I retire for the night. There is no gain at all trying to get that last few drops of dirty oil out.
He died with his drain plug off? The HORROR!
The gain in trying to get that last few drops of dirty oil out, is that you get that last few drops of dirty oil out.
You can try in your sleep.
Even if you're dead.
So it isn't very onerous.
He died getting the last few drops out doesn't sound too bad (fnar fnar).
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.
THAT actually makes sense.
As a general proposition, with no third parties (counting the car) involved, it doesn't.
In my case, no one else would be remotely interested in driving my car and it'd go straight to the scrappy, so posthumous lubrication issues wouldn't arise.
I wonder if I could arrange to be crushed into a cube in it and then smelted?
