Duel Row Bearing Consensus ?

No intentions of derailing the thread, but.....regarding oil changes and their importance to IMSB health.

Summers here are not as long as some of you are accustomed to, which explains the low mileage on my car. I've done the last 2 oil changes in spring after winter storage. I was thinking about moving my oil changes to fall before putting it away for the winter to have clean/fresh oil in it while in hibernation.

So, what would you recommend is the best schedule, spring or fall changes?

I will likely average 2-3000 mi/year.

What ever happened to the concept that synthetic oils were good for thousands of miles ?

When I had to store a car or motorcycle, the basic consenous at the time was to fill it with fresh oil and stabil in the full gas tank, run it to cirrculate it, then put it away. When I pulled it out of storage it was time to change the oil and give it a road trip to burn out the gas (good excuse if nothing else).
