What should you do with the oil in your car before leaving the car idle for a long time?
You'll get a different answer from everyone that you ask. Here is mine: Change the oil. Drive the car long enough to get the oil hot, 10 minutes or more. Park the car... That's it! Don't take the oil out, don't put in any special additives. Just too easy, isn't it? --Ken
