    Post Time to drain the engine oil - do I need to warm it up again?

    Hello All Spyder Lovers,

    I started the procedure of changing oil for winter storage on my 2020 Spyder RT Limited bike today.

    Went for a ride for around 12 miles to warm up the motor.

    While on the road I filled the gas tank and added Amsoil Gasoline Stabilizer before the start of the ride.

    Just before jacking up the bike to drain the oil, I was called out to help my best friend and never was able to drain the oil.

    When I'm ready to continue my oil change the next day, do I have to warm it back up again by taking the bike for a 10 minute or so drive?

    Or, can I continue to drain the oil (now a cold engine) without the pre-warm up?

    I know it's best to drain the oil when hot, I would like to know if I need to start all over?

    Thank you in advance!
