Oil is cheap and if you have to leave the car sitting for a while in winter, factor that into the purchase price of the car. Is $50 for an oil change really more than you can afford?
I understand your point but i just got it done. I honestly dont think it would do any damage myself but doing so gives people some peace of mind... It really will depend on how many miles i have on the oil before storage. if i only put on 500 miles, im not going to do it. If i have 3000, then I probably will...
