67coupedeville Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Hey there, we're about to bring my 67 Coupe and 79 Mercedes out of storage and here's what I did for winter preparation....I washed them . Now should I change the oil before I start them or should I change the oil after I jockey them around to where they are? Oil changes are in the very near future (as soon as I get them out of where they are) is it worth changing it before I start them? They have been sitting since roughly October. Will starting them with older oil in them hurt anything? As always thanks in advance. Spence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 If you changed oil before you put it away there's no sense in doing it now. If not then change it now but I realy don't think it matters all that much if you do it before or after a start up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHE Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 When you store a car for the winter, it is best to change the oil right before storage. That will prevent acids from eating away at the bearings over the winter. If you stored the car with dirty oil, I would change the oil ASAP.

TDK Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Warren, If you get a free account at photobucket.com, then it can be referenced in a post on this site. I think it (and other such sites) can be used to post up to 1mb pics. Add power to leave problems behind. Most braking is just - poor planning.

Rob_M Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Use the Microsoft Paint that you have in Windows "Accessories". THey have an option to Stretch/Skew. I drop them both down to 38% when I use my moms digital camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67coupedeville Posted April 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Well the weather tuned cold and rainy so next weekend I'll pull everything out of where they are, and get the oil changed ASAP. Thanks guys for the suggestions. Spence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
