Over time this oil seeps through the seal and somehow ends up in the IMS where bad things start to occur. I got to thinking, if this is the case; why not store the cars with the oil a bit low so it is below the seal. Just get up to level when the spring comes? There is likely a reason and I am just curious why? What else is sitting in the oil at the storage level. Please advise.
Don't want to think about winter so early considering it just ended, just for future reference. Thanks.

I think if you want to know what Pedro thinks, you should ask him. Although he does check in here occasionally, he answers his email or phone regularly. Just go to his website Pedro’s Garage.
