Interesting info

It all makes sense for what is basically changing the car from drivable to display and undrivable.

With short term storage for those that don't want drive their cars during the winter that would be extremely excessive.

Like many things, including oil, IMSB, tires, brakes, etc., its your car do what you want with it. If you choose to ignore advise from those who know, feel free to.

For me, if I was to store the car for a few months, $60 in oil is a small price to pay for possibly preventing a problem later
