If you drive your car on a daily basis then that moisture is burned off and you don't have to worry about it. So Id say to just change your oil at the start of when you take the car out. and maybe once more in between.

its my dads car so i dont really care too much Haha reminds me of one time in highschool when i changed an oil for a friend. The conversation leading up to it was somthing like as fallows:
I don't really remember what i said first but it had to do with oil changes.
Friend: What??
Me: You know, changing the oil in your car?
Friend: Umm... I have no idea what your talking about.
Me: WTF!! You mean you've never changed the oil in your car??!!!!
Friend: No
Me: How long have you had it?
Friend: A couple years
Me: How many miles have you put on it?
Friend: 20k miles or so.
Me: We are going to the auto parts store RIGHT NOW!!!
Needless to say I had to stab the oil filter with a screwdriver in order to get enough tourqe on it to remove the ****** and the oil was so fucked up and thick it took probley 15 minutes for it to drain. Absolutely disgusting.

Re: How often do you change ur earl?
i've pulled the plug on a car before and had NOTHING come out. After some persuasion with a coathanger (reminded me of...nvm) and filling the crank case with gas and letting it sit i finally managed to *drain* it.
