That is a very good tip. Although I do have a couple questions to understand this a little deeper:

1) When do you classify oil as dirty? For example, if the car only ran a few hundred miles, is the oil still considered dirty? Or, is it based on age of the oil?

2) I know that most people on here change every 5k miles on here. Its simple if you hit 5k miles in a season but if you only run the car for 2000 miles a year, does that mean it sits through at least 2 winters before the oil is switched out?

Thanks in advance.
