Like it says. I parked the G in Dec. and have only taken it out on dry days, when I couldn't stand driving my winter beater anymore. So, what do you think? I believe I used 0 30 synth mobile 1.

if you used synthetic then you can go 6 months without changing the oil.

I always change mine up after leaving it in storage. You've been driving it some but I would suggest giving the priority to time in your regular schedule versus considering the kms. That may mean now or it may mean another 3 months depending on how you usually service it and how much running it got to minimize the moisture build up in it.

You're probably fine for a bit.

Thanks Boyz. I think I'll wait a week or two, maybe until I get the summers on.
