Yearly Oil Change
Although my manual suggests changing my oil every 12 months, regardless of the remaining life span, I'm tempted to fudge a little. Is this being penny wise & dollar foolish?

Yes, change that oil. I do my own oil changes and just did the work with only 11 months of use, about 2,600 miles. I didn't want to be crawling around in the cold weather so I changed it during a mild day in October. Yes, I drive my car in the Winter as long as the roads are free of salt and sand.

For the cheap SOBs out there, Pep Boys sells a calendar for $1 and inside is a coupon for 3 free Mobil1 oil quarts when you buy 3 quarts. 50% and the $1 goes to MADD, a good cause. Consider it a two for sale and stock up.
change the oil in spring and fall or sooner to protect the engine internals.
