Re: ZDDP Off Shoot, Oil change interval



My car sits Nov-March. I typically drive ~3,000 miles/year, so I change my oil every spring before the season begins. I try and start and warm up the car a couple times during the winter, but I'm not too worried about the "old" oil sitting over the winter.

Whatever you use, do some research to make sure the zinc is there.

Ditto for every Spring - And try to drive them on occasion year round, weather permitting.  (Seattle area - dust free and often damp).

Mike, I do not feel quite so guilty now. I change oil-filter and grease every Spring . Also do full service. I usually put on 2-3000 miles a year and no dust conditions. ............................MO

Hi Nico,

New oils will last far longer than those formulas of yesteryears. It makes a difference as to how warm the oil gets when you drive. It needs to get hot enough to boil out any accumulated water. Oil + water seems to make acids that eat metal (your engine internals) so you should make sure you're not feeding their habit! Being somewhat frugal I change every other year. I don't put many miles on per year but those I do are enough to really warm things up! Tires too! I'm using Royal Purple currently.

All, been reading these threads with great enjoyment to the knowledge that is out there. Need to expand this thread to Oil change intervals. As I winter in Florida to work on my 65 Bel vert, it occurs to me that my other 62-65's sit for almost 6 months and am wondering should i change my oil when I move back north to Virginia. Currently have been using Rotella T-6 synthetic but from previous posts that may now be a no-no, so do I change syn oil every 6 months just because the motor sat for 6 months. members from the northern states may have a good insight to my question. Thanks in advance.
