For those that stored it for the winter, are you guys changing the oil as soon as possible not that the weather is nice again?

Changed prior to storage and changed immediately prior to 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.

cooltoy · 03-19-2015, 03:40 PM

I do. Right before storage and right after.

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

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

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...
