oil change after storage?
I recently stored the Z for winter, decided to do its first oil change before I put it away for ~4months or so. Is it required to change the oil after storage? if not would timeline should I go before it's next change?
Don't get me wrong I know when to change my oil and do it as needed and never go over mileage but I never had a car that I stored before so though I would ask...... Thanks, |

no you don't need to get another change after storage, I just wait till I get close to the mileage they put down for the next service and do it a little before then just for added protection! Basically I end up doing 2 oil changes within the 6-7 1/2 months I get to drive her. First one around 2 to 2 1/2 months then I wait about 3-4 months for the last one (usually ends up being a week or 2 before it goes into storage, <-so you move it all around a little.)
Side note I only get to drive my Z from May 1st to Nov 1st!! o well still love it! Example for this year: bought new in May first change in early August, last one in late October
