That's the ticket.

The contaminates in the oil also cause it to become acidic when it sits, so you should definitely change it when the car goes into hibernation regardless of the mileage. Drive out the door in the Spring and change it at the mileage you want or hibernation the next year, whichever comes first.

Hi,

What he said... But to add, it's best to put the Car away and not to start it through the off-season. Serves no purpose except to contaminate the Fresh Oil...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Agreed. The BEST thing of course is to drive the car throughout the winter, say at least once a week where you can bring the car up to full operating temp, charge up the battery a bit, give the tires a good rolling, etc.


However, in some climes, this is not going to happen.

Good stuff!
