Oil change before winter storage?
I only have about 3000 miles since the last oil change but is it a good idea to change the oil before storing the car for the winter?
TIA

No reason to change again in the Spring, unless you are stored somewhere very humid.

Most of us living in snowy climes store their cars in winter, so they remain beautiful. Those of you living in LA, and the like, are lucky to be spared the harm that road salt and chunks of frozen slush does to ones car - especially one with alumnium suspension components and rims. Like the fellow in VT, I am making one last road trip before returning the car to the barn for winter.

(and, of course, with the snow comes salt on the road)

But, ideally, you would do it before and after.
