Haha reason for May here is cause we usually get wicked rain storms before May long, which does a way better job of cleaning the streets than the city.I wait until June every year to get mine back on the road because that’s usually when they’ve finally swept up all the crap on the roads from winter. I’m going to check this time how much oil was burned as well. Forgot to do it last time. Curious because in the past I noticed occasional puffs of blue smoke on start up. I don’t bother putting fresh oil in before storage because typically I only put 500-800 km’s on the car each summer so it’s basically fresh anyway.
Funny how the OLM in the Mustang doesn’t tell you that you need an oil change after 12 months but in my Explorer it tells me every 6 months. I’m changing it in my Explorer toady and I’ve only put 2200 km’s on since last change.
Outta curiosity though I looked at the manufacturer date on the oil, it was May 2020. So that oil is 7 months old before it hit the crankcase haha.
For the OLM on the Mustang, it takes everything into account, idle time, oil temps, mileage then calculates what % of life is left. At least, that's my understanding of it.
