Marc/Grant so do u feel that it would be better to change the oil prior to storage rather than after winter storage because of acis build up thru the running season.
Do u think that water build up over the storage season 9 (winter) is a bigger problem than the acis created in the driving season.I only put 6000 miles on car a season
and used to change the oil after the winter because off moisture but now believe that it may be better to change prior to storage and just go for a good hard/ long early spring run
to hopefully burn off the moisture.What are your thoughts on this thx[/quote]
I'll jump in here and say. Yes! Change the oil BEFORE storage to get rid of the acids and have the engine innards sitting in clean oil. You're not going to get much, if any moisture in the oil when the car is in storage. (It's a closed system). The moisture / water gets into the engine from combustion when the engine is cold. Ever notice the water pouring out of the exhaust of cars driving off with a cold engine in Winter? That came from short distance driving. If that car had been on a longer drive to really get the engine warmed up, the exhaust system would have been dry from hot gasses flowing through it.
