So it is starting to get cold and I'm looking at getting her ready for a 6 month rest. One thing that everyone says, is to change the oil before putting her away. My question is, she had an oil change the day i got her, and at this point only has a 1000 miles on her since. should i still do an oil change or is that overkill. I don't have a problem doing another, but with only a 1000 miles on synthetic oil, it feels like it might be unnecessary.

Let me know what everyone thinks.

thanks

Phil

 

I wouldn't bother with it. With the car stored you'll have plenty of time To change it if you're getting antsy

 

You're fine, get a battery tender, put some stabil in the gas tank, wash, protect and cover. I think they recommend a slight over inflation of the tires, check your owners manual.
