Winter storage - Oil Change in fall or spring?
About to store my Motorhome for the winter months. Do people recommend changing the oil in the fall before storing or in the spring. (I use synthetic oil if that makes a difference.

While we too only get about 3-4000 miles a year, IAW Cummins they say every 10000 or 1 year on the ISL motor for oil change, so al long as it's still under warranty I do it EVERY year, and on the recommendation of the local diesel service I use for services we change it each SPRING once I pull it out of winter storage.
really well every ISL book I seen says 20000 miles and if it was so so important to change it once a year verses on mileage why would anyone let it sit all winter with dirty oil.? I think your getting bad informations(regarding fall verses spring) even when I was under warrenty I used the mileage measure.Had a couple cummins warrenty issues and they did not seem to care about the yearly bs they print in the manual. Never even asked about oil changes
