Sorry guys, I stand corrected, I thought I read somewhere you should let the oil drain 12 hours, I checked the manual again, I think I got confused when the owners manual said to wait at least 2 or 3 hours to CHECK the oil level, and it was best to check it before you started it the first time in the morning. It also mentioned something about staying away from the 'quick change' oil places as they don't know the particulars of the ZR-1. I misconstrued that you should let it drain over night so I was wrong. As far as the torquing of the oil pan bolt, you guys don't know how much of a pain it was to get mine loose the first time, actually the head of the bolt had been deformed from someone cranking on it too dang hard, so I bought a new bolt and washer.
