I changed the oil last weekend but I don't think 3-400 miles after that would matter much. I wonder how long I can postpone this storage thing. There's still a chance I may not even store it, and drive it when roads are dry. Perhaps I'll learn my lessons this first winter. And with global warming we may not even have a winter as we used to. Heating oil futures prices (way down) sure point to a mild winter.

Sorry for the stream of consciousness above...

You may want to be careful driving this winter on your summer tires even when it is dry.

I am sure there are plenty of people on this site that know a lot more than me about this subject, but I am under the impression that below 45 degrees F, your summer tires just don’t stick all that well. They should be fine for running you to the store and back, but if you are looking to enjoy that twisty run through Bear Mountain or something, I would think about a good set of winter tires.
