fogging question

[simple]

On a 4.3 Mercruiser I/O, is it ok if someone fogs/stalls the engine first, and then drains/refills the engine oil?

Or is the correct method to drain/refill the engine oil first, start the engine and fog?

I don't see how, but someone told me that if you do it the first method, some of the fogging oil might be drained out with the engine oil.

when was ur last oil change ? probably a good idea to change the oil then do the fogging.... that way u will have gotten rid of any contaminates that will sit there till the next season

One of the steps in a proper oil change is to run the engine up to operating temp after refilling with new oil to establish the level & check for leaks. Seems to me that logically, that would have to be done before you fog & kill it.
