Oil change
What does everyone do for oil changes on our collector cars, fall or spring? Or wait for a higher mileage?

Same here. I like to put them to bed with nice clean oil in the pan.

Any more for American cars I use 10W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic and a new ACDelco "Professional" (no "E") oil filter when I see a slight drop in hot idle oil pressure or yearly.

Storage is what us rust belt folks have to do to keep our cars from getting a salt bath once the weather turns cold.

I will run the car to operating temperature a few times between December and March…..
I will then change the oil in April as the season starts….

Twice a year, once in the spring and then once in the late fall so they sit with clean oil all winter. I use nothing but 5W30 Mobil 1 with a big Wix filter.. No additives..
