Hi folks,

we have had our S since October of 2005. it had 27, 300 miles when we bought it, and the dealer did the 30k service when we bought it.

we now have 36, 300 miles on it 21 months later. Although it does get cold here in the winter, we still drive the car when there is no salt or crud on the streets.

looking through the maintenance manual, I can't find anything regarding the oil change by time, only mileage, 15k miles.

I have seen folks talk about changing the oil either before or after storing it for the winter, but if I don't store it and drive it year round, can i just change it by mileage, or since it's not a daily driver, do I have to change it per some time interval before reaching 15K miles?

I have always thought that synthetic oil was very stable for a very long period of time.

opinions would be greatly appreciated!
