Again, I'm not trying to extend the life of the oil I buy. I only want to fully utilize the oil that I do buy, rather than pour unused oil into the eco-station's waste-oil tank.
My last comment on this thread will be after I pick up a Nissan oil filter, hopefully tomorrow, to report what the service manager has to say about the scenario I've already stated. I hope the thread is not locked until after I report what he says, because what he says may interest some owners whose vehicles are in a similar, short-summer-only, low-km situation to ours.

to add to the above response, I will only have driven roughly 3k km or just under 2k miles since the last change. I did one before storage in November. did another one shortly after pulling storage in march. doing another one in may before my road trip. and another one once I'm back. do I care about the frequency? not really. oh and total mileage put on between then and now is less than 5000 KM.
