So Id say to just change your oil at the start of when you take the car out. and maybe once more in between.

Yeah I just don't like the idea of letting all the crap that in the oil from a summer worth of driving settle down for a whole winter, and I don't really mind paying an extra 20 bucks once a year.

Thats disgussing. :-X

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 fucker and the oil was so fucked up and thick it took probley 15 minutes for it to drain. Absolutely disgusting.

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.
