I put no more than 4k mi. on all my Fun Cars during the driving season here in Minnesota before changing it at the end of the season. It kills me to dump all that premium Synthetic Oil, but that's the price of admission...

Your are converting me. So for your seasonal toy, it's change the oil at the end of the season even though it has less than, say, 8,500 on the clock. Ok. How about when you bring the car out in the following year? Drive off and enjoy until the end of the season or 8,500-10,000, which ever comes first?

Thanks.

p.s Please list your home address so I can send you a blank check. I feel I should be paying for this education.
