Im going to be locking Cesil away over the winter, Its due an oil change so would it be best to get it done now or wait till it see's the light of day again ?

I get mine done in the spring, as never think oil sitting around in an engine doing nothing for months does it any good. Open to correction on that though

When it emerges from hibernation, wakes up to a little treat!

do it before. Oil only downgrades due to usage, mileage, contaminates from petrol, heat etc.

so if left dormant over winter its the same as being in the container it came in.

If it's due now then do it now.

Wise words from above

New year piss poor weather may delay your date due for the service

Mineral oil back in the day was epic for degradation with long term storage possibly creating more woes then running a car through the seasons

This Castrol gloob is the nuts
