    I am having my testarossa service done Monday. I wanted to know if I should deliver the car to them as cold as possible. Or if I can drive it prior to drop-off, thus a warm car.

    Neither matters… chances are it will sit for a little while until they get to it.

    Best to do an oil change with the oil warm and recently circulated so the contaminates get suspended up into the oil (and better get drained out with the oil that comes out). There's no reason to not drive it beforehand -- the Shop would/should run it some anyway before draining.

    Yes, Steve is technically correct. However practically from your standpoint, it doesn’t matter unless they are immediately going to do the oil change on drop off. Service should take care of the rest… I mean that’s why you’re paying them to do it.

    I don’t remember when any Indy wasn’t slightly to a lot behind.
