My question would be how harmful are those start ups for the engine with old oil sitting for long periods. I'd like to see an OA before and after to see just how corrosive it might be.
I don't know, that whole "leave the oil in" for years just because it doesn't have mileage on it doesn't sound like a super idea to me. Not something I'd do with my very expensive engines. OA's would tell the story.
It's interesting stuff, I'm just not willing to do it with my stuff but I'd entertain someone else that wants to subject there engines to that sort of testing
