Reuse engine oil in the engine?
If I drain engine oil with only about 1400 miles on it, can I reuse it? What would be necessary to keep particulates and dirt out? Clean drain area and clean receptacle only? I have to redo the oilpan gasket, and would rather not waste the 4,000 miles still in the current engine oil.
