[T3] So I was doing an oil change....

[Dave Hall]

The reason for removing the old oil is the acids etc from combustion can eat
at the engine components. Fresh oil in a tin will be no fresher when you put
it back in the engine after winter, and I'd think it was more use in the
engine than in the tin!

Oil doesnt go bad that quick, and I still need to drive it a bit before I do
the final tuck in for the winter.

Wait a minute - back up Keith..

Fresh oil going IN for winter storage? That's just not right ;-)  That fresh
oil will not be so fresh oil come springtime after sitting in that freezing
crankcase all winter...

 

Take the hot oil out - remove and cleanout the screen - put it all back
together without the oil - then come springtime, right before startup;
install the oil.

Now that's a fresh oil change!
