Need Oil Change for Winterizing Drove < 700 mi

[GTA_G20]

Definitely wouldn't change the oil after 700miles

also wouldn't frequently start and stop the car without driving it over the winter

Shut it off with a full tank of gas. Plug it in and leave it alone till april

Why would you leave a full tank of gas in the car when petrol has a finite life, that's just throwing money away?

As for the oil i'd leave it and do it in the spring. Seriously after 700 miles it's barely been used.

Northern climates. Cold weather = condensation= water in your tank = corrosion and rust

Doubt it in a galvanised tank somehow.

Leave it with next to nothing in it and fill it up before the first drive in the spring. Otherwise you're driving round on stale fuel and that will do more damage than anything.

According to Porsche change the oil and fill the fuel tank. If you own the car, do whatever makes you happy. They aren't your boss.

I hate to use the "W" word, but Walmart has large silica gel packs in the firearms section. They are sold for use in gun safes.

I do all of the above- and release my roof at the windshield, so it is relaxed over the winter. The car is covered with a fitted cover with the windows down a crack.
