Changed car oil in spring '08 parked car 4-Winter, 2,000km on oil since,now spring'09 should I change the oil?

I'm mainly concerned about the time the filter has been on there and the formation of acids over winter.



normally i change it every 5,000km. But the car would get driven normally and the filter and oil wouldnt be in the car that long. SHOULD I CHANGE IT, with only 2,000km on the oil being as it was last changed may 2008?

yes oil will still break down while the car is sitting even the newest synthetics will do this although they will take longer. for the best care of your car i would suggest you do

It is usually recommended that the oil be changed every six months in a vehicle that is not being driven. On the other hand, I know people who only change it once a year.......



An oil change is cheap maintenance; if you're concerned, have it changed!
every 3 to 5000 miles al it needs if its been park then you didnt use the oil so it shoul dbe just fine but really wouldnt hurt either along with a tune up
