What's the best time of year to change your oil, if you only change it 1x per year?
I drive my 'vert ~5-7K mi per year. It comes out of the garage sometime in May, and goes back in sometime in October. The garage isn't "climate controlled" but it is insulated and stays above freezing, and I try and fire it up once a month or so and let it get up to full operating temp at idle. I always use 15w-50 Mobil 1 (m30b35 swap, BTW)
So I'm wondering, is it best to change the oil when I pull it out and May, so it has fresh oil for the driving season? Or change it in October, so that it has fresh oil to rest on during the winter? Or am I just wwaayyy overcomplicating this?
