Suggestion

The gist of what I learned is that old oil contains moisture and acids that will pit bearings and other engine parts so it’s important to change oil prior to storage.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

My 07 Cayman's in service date was April 2007 and I've only enjoyed 6,000 miles in it. Winter is coming, so I'll be storing it for the next few months. Should I change the oil now or after?

POST 5Original post

I live in Chicago and will be storing my car as well. I just asked my dealer the same question and they also recomended I change it before I store it. They gave me the same reasons Santa Fe has listed. Just did it yesterday so I am good to go!
