So I've just about done 500 miles since my 360 mild rebuild of cam, lifters, crank etc.
Car goes into winter storage next month, do I change the oil now or change it when I get out of storage next March?
Not sure I like the idea of run in metal particles sitting in there over winter but would it really make any difference either way?

Change it now

Change it now. Used engine oil is slightly acidic and over time will eat the surface of white metal bearings.

Agree - change it.

Cool.
I'll change it Saturday before it's last show of the year in Margate. 4hr round trip should be fun!
Cheers.
