Unfortunately it's time to put my westy up for storage before the snow starts flying. My question is if I change the oil filter and oil now in October, do I need to do it again in May when I take it out of storage? I run Mobil 1 15w50 (synthetic oil). If I do have to do the spring oil change, is there any point in using expensive Mobil 1 for winter storage? Also, is there any point in changing the oil filter in the spring as it should still be clean? Thanks Pascal ''84 Westy |
