The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) V

Davey

Man, I love getting 310 miles out of a $108 oil change. Next time I put the Z up for the winter I'm not going to spring for ester oil. Usually I get it out for a few solid weeks before 1st of may when I change it again but not this year.

But my car's on the road with a fresh oil change, even got to drive it to work today. Hopefully I'll even see 5 digits on the odometer by the end of summer.

Not really gonna happen, but a guy can dream.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and is having a great week so far...

wow, you dont really need to change the oil before storage if it's only for a couple of months, imho. i only change it once in the Spring. my car has 12K miles, 4yrs old this summer.

have fun motoring!

Nissan says 6 months or 3750 miles... They're the ones who pay for my engine if it fails (which, I'm sure you and I both know, would have very little to do with me leaving my oil in for longer than 6 months since the low mileage isn't from short trips) so I change it in Nov. when I put it up for storage and then I usually am able to get it out mid-March or so, but this year we got some freezing rain/ice really late in the winter and they threw down about 1.5" of road salt everywhere, then it didn't rain for 2 weeks.

But yeah outside of tornadoes and stuff like that it should be mainly good driving weather from now until November!

my car has been sitting since last october.. and will probably sit until next spring I will start her, and then drive her 300 miles to get oil changed
