My car has been sitting in the garage for about 6 months. I changed the oil/filter right before I put it away for storage and the car was just started every other day and driven a total of MAYBE 100 miles, if that. Should I replace the oil or should I wait until I hit the 30k mark (currently have about 25,173).

 

I just had to make the same decision. I went ahead and changed mine. I feel better about it.

 

You'd probably be fine for at least 5k miles EXCEPT you state that you started it every other day. Starting it without driving it under load is worse than not starting it at all as it doesn't allow the moisture to be driven off as well as it would under load. I'd play it safe and change it; oil and filter. It's worth the $30 or so for the peace-of-mind.

 

it wont hurt to change ur oil so i say do it

 

just change it, its not a big deal and costs all of about 30 bucks... i dont think it would hurt.

 

I agree. Changing it is worth it.

 

whats the pros and cons, write them all out and see which one out weighs the other...........LOL, just change the oil, is $30 going to break the bank?i change mine every 3k miles.

 

MFers have rendered a decision - change it....

 

Just like Vapor stated

 

haha i would change it too..
