I have a 1970 Monte Carlo that mostly sits since it's stored in a different place than where I currently live. I had to get the tags renewed the other day so I had to get it out to get inspected.
I thought it had only been about three years since I had changed the oil but when I looked at the maintenance log for the car, it had been 7 years since I had last changed the oil and the oil change only had 500 miles on it. The oil still looked pretty new. I definitely need to do better than that in the future.
I changed the oil with some Castrol 10W-40 and added a zinc additive and have been driving the car all week.
Have any of you ever been that absent minded on changing the oil on a vehicle that doesn't get driven that much?
