[QUOTE="Robot_trainer, post: 14493110, member: 157423"] Depends where you store it. If its a damp location you might want to use an oil with some anti-corrosion additives. Otherwise just change the oil. The main thing is you want to store it with fresh oil if its going to sit. Once the oil has been in there a while it gets contaminated with blow by which reacts with moisture making an acid that can actually pit bearings, journals etc. The modern synthetics are better at preventing this, but it just cheap insurance to change it. No need to re-change it in the spring. I usually put a bit of stabil in with a full tank of gas and always run star-tron with ethanol fuel so it the ethanol and moisture doesn't separate from the fuel. By the way, i run Red Line 10W40 in mine since the Motocraft recommended 5W50 shears down to a 10W40 anyway after short time. [/QUOTE]
