Default Drain+Refill and Forget!!!

My friend- Drain and forget it.

Refill will Mobil 1 Syn Oil.

The cost of Mobil 1 - versus your worries dictates you do this.

This my 2 cents.

BTW- I have been using Mobil 1 Syn engine oils in all my cars since 1988.

Change it in the spring, as many others have stated it wont hurt anything even if you didnt change it. But why change it now and then let it sit, then change it again in the spring

Besides if you leave it, you're going to be in a constant worry that the motor is about to disentegrate at any second!

Lower your stress level - drain it...

Yeah...like said...run it just a bit to help clean out any sludge and then start over again with another oil change. Heck, maybe you just discovered some new oil performance tip!!

Used to do that on engines with carbs. But if you are really worried about it, just drain it out and then fill with the right stuff.
