Btw: If someone places such a high value on one's 986 to preserve it from winter elements by garaging it, why try to save a few bucks over low cost preventive items such as changing roughly 10 quarts of oil.
i plan on starting the engine up once every 2 weeks and let it idle and warm up to operating tempurature so not changing the oil is fine in my opinion with just 700 miles on the oil.
