        While it would be best to have TheVan OnTheLevel ~ It would be a BadIdea to StartTheEng' & Circulate that

OldOil that has been sitting in it through @Least a couple of ClimateChanges as it CouldContain Condensation H2O

& Gas, if you might have any InjectorLeaks ~ If it's possible, Jack the FrontEnd Up a Bit & Get That OldStuff Out ~

If you want WarmItUp put a HeatSource under it for a while ~

        Always best to to do a Good FullUpToTemp Drive of a reasonable distance to BurnOff any BadStuff that might

be in the Oil just before Hibernation & Then ChangeIt Before StartUp ~ If you really want to pamper it ~ Go Ahead

& ChangeIt BeforeHibernate & Then ChangeIt Again Before ReStart ~ If you choose GoThatRoute & want to keep the

$s low SuperTech Oils from Walmart are Considered to be (@Least by 1 SuperGuru in VanagonWorld) VeryGoodQuality

(MadeBy Coastal) ~ Hint > 10Cent ~

                                                                                        ORR ~ DeanB

As I get ready to wake her up, I realize she is parked on an incline. (Rear higher). Not a steep incline, but enough for a ball to roll. Would it be ok to change as is, or should I move to level ground, or a least switch directions? (Rear lower)
