Changed prior to storage and changed immediately prior to driving.:driving:

I would change the oil as soon as you can. Unless you have a nice heated garage it was kept in? I still would change it after sitting for 4/5 month.

I'm doing a engine/tranny/diff oil change tomorrow, or this weekend at least. lol might be lazy tomorrow.

Mhaddy 03-20-2015 03:44 PM

Changed before and drove after.

jdsto 03-20-2015 07:27 PM

I put the insurance back on and I plan on going to get her tomorrow.

I only change the oil after I burn off the storage tank of gas. I drive it nice and easy until that tank is gone, then change the oil and put a fresh tank of fuel in. Then it's :driving:

Still 2 months here until the season begins.

That is close to what I also do.

End of year I change it approx 1-2 weeks before I put it away and I don't DD it so I only drive it a couple times after so I know it has all cycled around.

Start of the year I drive it a couple times then do the oil change. I will do it on a nice day over the weekend after I fuel up then do oil change and a wash and wax. It's kinda like a Z spa day :tup:

I did drive it easy for the first bit... but then once it was warm enough and I was moving I started opening up a bit.

It's like... you see a button and it says 'DO NOT PUSH' well... :rofl2:

Time to take them out and drive!! :driving:

cooltoy 06-02-2015 10:43 PM

Bump.

90 ST 06-03-2015 02:47 AM

It's summer!! No more storing time to drive them!

cooltoy 06-03-2015 10:28 AM

So.

The fact that it is summer has nothing to do with whether people store the car for the winter or not. It's a general question, not regarding what people are doing at this particular moment.

It's an interesting poll and I would like to keep it up top.
