my oil life percentage is at 26%. and in about a week the car will be sitting probably till next spring. so should i change the oil now and let it sit. or should i just wait till spring to change it? or does it not matter any way?

 

Change it now

 

you want fresh oil when your car is stored..why have contaminated oil sitting in your engine for a long period of time?

 

ok yeah i was thinking the same thing just wanted to make sure thanks guys

 

I change my oil at 50% which is like 6000km. Leaving it longer just doesnt seem right IMO

 

Change now, never store a vehicle for long periods of time without fresh oil.

 

i say when you store it, drain the oil out and leave it empty till next spring.

 

....can you explain how that sounds like a good idea?

 

i dont know if its a good idea, i just wanted to see what people would say lol

 

change your oil john, and when are we meeting up for some tuning?

 

Sensor or not i change my oil every 3000 Miles or 5000 Km

 

how about saturday the 24th?



before i changed my oil i let the car warm ip. whike it was warming up i took the oil cap off and noticed that there is a decent amount of blow-by. how bad is this? what can i do to fix it?

just remembered about this thread. would this help??

I can take a look at it for ya when we meet up.

24th or 25th may work for me. I'll be in Ramstein that weekend. Pm me your cell again.

 

I'm the same way.

 

Ya i've always stored cars with a fresh oil change and then I do another fresh oil change when the come back out of storage.
