Re: How often do you change your oil?
Once a year in spring, i've only put 500 miles on her this year so mileage isn't a concern.

Re: How often do you change your oil?
In my 82, 10,000 miles is the rule, as it is all highway driving, so twice a year. In the Z, which will only see 3-4K miles per year if that, I will probably change every year. I already out Mobil 1 5W-30 in it when purchased, but will probably change to the Amsoil 10W-40 soon. To avoid any condensation in the engine, I always start the engine once a week, sometimes once every two weeks and let the engine run to full operating temps even if I don't go for a ride, this way you boil off any condesation that may form thus eliminating that situation......
