Change your oil right before you put it into storage. When you bring it out in the spring, take the car for a long 30 minute drive to get the oil hot and up to operating temperature for an extended period of time. This will "condition" the lubricant making it suitable for the rest of your driving season.
Repeat this process at storage time.
*This process works BEST with true synthetic base stocks, as they are rated for one year use before changing assuming the mileage limitations are not exceeded.

I change my oil every time I stored my car because the oil is contaminated. And a stagnant oil loses its ability. So you will need to change it after the storage.
Don't forget to reset the oil indicator.

no need to change it again after storage.
Correct, just follow my recommendations above on how to condition the lubricant, and use it for the rest of the season.
True synthetic base stocks provide the best results for car storage.
what is the reason to run amsoil if running a 170 t-stat? Could we run that oil without it? And does apply to the dominator series?
Cooler engine = Cooler oil
Cooler oil = more viscous oil
That means you can drop a grade to maintain proper oil pressure.
This applies to all engine lubricants, not just Amsoil.
I have read so many different things on which oil to run, ford says stay with theirs others say Mobil 1. Hear a lot of horror stories on amsoil down here. Anyone running the amsoil in the texas heat?
I'm running Amsoil SS 10W30 in my '13 Shelby with the stock thermostat in Florida heat and humidity and the engine definitely runs better than with Motorcrap 5W50 or even Mobil 1 (I've tried them both) and I still don't have any "horror stories" to tell.

Both the main tuners said to stay away from it that it breaks down on dyno runs with 1000+ rwhp engines and both recommended Mobil 1.
That goes against every UOA from Amsoil and Mobil 1 we have seen in the past 3 years. Do yourself a favor, tell your "tooners" to keep "tooning", because they know nothing about engine lubricants. Let me guess, they probably think Mobil 1 is still a true PAO/Ester synthetic.
I'd love to see a side by side UOA comparison of Amsoil Signature Series or RD30 vs. Mobil 1 in a 1,000 HP engine. Both samples used for 2,000 miles or more. I will already tell you how this is going to end. Mobil 1 is going to shear, Amsoil isn't.

Anyone in AZ? Reason I ask is because of the temp swing from winter to summer. Not trying to stir the pot, this is an honest question. As for the tranny, just run ATF from Amsoil?
Secondly, did someone say we get a deal through SVTP? If so where, how?
I can't believe there is another thread on this topic.
