Storing car for the winter - advice

robtrink · 10-10-2009, 04:31 PM

Hey just have a quick question.

As November approaches, I am going to be getting ready to store my car for the winter. I know it sucks, and I am not happy about it, but luckily I have another car and wont have to drive my Z in the snow.

At any rate, as November comes, so does my 3000 mile mark, right now I am at about 2100 miles. Would it be best to get an oil change before I store the car, after I store the car and get it out for next summer, or do it before and after?

I know a lot of owners got their oil changed before the 3000 mile mark just because it was a new engine and break in.

Thanks,

Rob
