For me, and my rare driving of any aircooled motor, I change the oil in the spring, and just before winter storage, or 3k miles, whichever comes first.
It’s not common fir me to put 3k per year on mine anymore. Always will do it this way in my oil cooled cars with air assist. They are all oil cooled. Dino oil with zinc…I buy cases 10W-30 of what I can find with high levels of zinc. My water cooled German cars all get mobile1 synth, European blend, euro weight…seems to be all I can walk into a store and get. Rich |
