Oil change question...

[Pure_Evil_GT500]

I changed my oil before storing it and reset the oil life gauge... Well every two weeks I started the car and let it run for 30 minutes during the winter and now after I have brought it outta storage it says 5% oil life change soon... Do I need to change the oil or should I just reset it and change the oil when the time comes (meaning after 5000km)

Re-Set would be in order

I change mine after the winter

I would dump it and leave the filter. (assuming you put a new one on last fall) That's just me though :shrug:

Change mine before and after. I start mine up every couple weeks in winter. I run it for a couple days after storage and change it.

What oil are you using, and how many times did you start it through the winter to let it idle for 30 minutes?

If it is synthetic I would leave it and reset the monitor. Idling AFR is 14.7 to 1 so no fuel is mixing in and if the car is warmed up most of the moisture will be removed from the oil.

I got Castrol in it and every two weeks I started it up from the moment I stored it in my garage to the moment I brought her back out... I let it run a full 30 minutes everytime but the battery did die once so I'm gonna get a optima battery for her...

Mine did the same thing but I just hit reset I changed her before winter mine is a 2010.

What is this oil gauge thingy you speak of?

Is this new on the 2010 models or something?
