[QUOTE="BCPD199, post: 13612837, member: 13523"] Sorry to answer so late. The reason for changing the oil before storage is that the old oil has contaminants in it. Those contaminants (acid) will etch into the bearings over the storage period. What little condensation that develops over the winter burns off quickly after reaching operating temperature. I found this from a Corvette Forum. It was written by an engineer from GM. It explains better than I can on how oil breaks down as well as how it becomes contaminated and why the oil should be changed before storage.
