It is due for an oil change and I am trying to decide if I should change it now before it sits for three months or leave it and change it in late March before it comes out of storage.
Ummm both. :like:

Either way should work. I would probably change it now. Letting it sit with fresh oil just makes me feel fuzzy. Plus it gives you an excuse to drive it one more time before it goes to bed.

I change the Oil on all my vehicles In the early fall when it’s warm and not a big deal. You’re not gonna kill your motor with new oil sitting 3-4 months. I quess I could do it in the spring but then I’d have dirty oil sitting in the motor over the winter. Can’t win either way. Don’t over think it IMO. Change it once a year or every 5k miles.
