[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 5742845, member: 9628"] My guess is that there should be minimal moisture getting into the engine if in fact the car has been stored in a climate controlled environment (A/C). That is a must. There is a common myth that a heated garage is fine for car storage. Usually, this is a method used "up north". Unless the garage is completely air tight, (which most are not since they have an overhead door) moisture, especially during many months of the year when humidity is 100% outside when it is snowing, sleeting and raining, will make its way inside. What happens when cold moist air hits the heated air? Some of it dries, but much of it condensates. Condensation is moisture, that's not what needs to be around a raw/bare aluminum, steel, cast iron, etc. Anything that is not painted or coated will rust or oxidize. If at all possible the moisture needs to be removed from the air. A dehumidifier, along with the heater would be the best choice when A/C is not an option. You got to get rid of the moisture. The purpose for the original oil? No good reason that I know of except to keep the original assy. line gray painted oil filter in place?? R [/QUOTE]
