I'm with JFP on this . . .

. . . And have been for 6 years. Changing the oil just before storage ensures no unburnt fuel, water or other contaminants are present. I'd rather have clean oil in the engine than in a jug on the shelf waiting for spring.

You've never been to Manitoba in January have you? And please, don't tell me Michigan has winter too. You ain't seen nothin' like a Canadian Prairie winter. Driving a sports car in 40 below temperatures and foot high ice ruts on the roads is not good for the car or your sanity.

Yup. I can attest to this. Still have scars on my lips from the zippers on my parka freezing to them as I walked to school as a child.

Rear wheel drive does not work well in snow, in Denver, Co. one of the most expensive states for car insurance; I am taking no chances. I am fortunate, I drive my Audi Quatrro during the winter and then some; we can get snow in Sep/Oct thur Apr/May.
