<P align=left>why not? consider it cheap insurance. i have always heard of oil breaking down just from sitting in an engine too long. i do not know how accurate that is but for $20 bucks i would just do the oil change and have the peace of mind that your are protecting your engine. </P>

<DIV></DIV>>Okay, other than around the block warm ups, my van has been sitting for two
<DIV></DIV>>years... oil was changed to Mobil 1 (100% synthetic) two years ago. I'm
<DIV></DIV>>about to head off on a big trip. The miles don't justify changing the oil...
<DIV></DIV>>but I seem to remember something about changing the oil after a certain
<DIV></DIV>>period of time regardless of miles. Should I change the oil before heading
<DIV></DIV>>off on my big trip???
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Thanks,
<DIV></DIV>>Bill
