Do I really need to change it again with just 2000 miles on that last change. Yes it’s been in there a year. I’ve read articles written by oil engineers that claim you can go 3 years without worrying about it. I know the ims thing. Just thought I would ask the community. You pull the stick and it looks like I just put it in there.
You should be changing it before you put it away for the winter; one of the worst things you can do is leave dirty oil in a car in storage.
