I’m sure there is already a thread for this but my search couldn’t find it. Just put my 2005 Roadster back on the road this week after winter storage and was about to DIY change the oil. Checking it first I noticed it was so clean I could barely see the topped up level. This car get driven very minimally every year, only goes through 1 tank of gas before storage again. Do I really need to change it every year? Could I extend it to every 2nd or even 3rd year?

 

All I can say is synthetic oil lasts longer than the old school oil.

 

I average around 3000 miles a year. I change mine oil once a year when winter comes.

It is entirely up to you. I have gone 1 1/2 years and the oil still looked good (reason I didn't change it at the 1 year mark). Good luck with whatever you choose.

Thanks all. I guess you noticed my error in calling it a 2025 Roadster. Fixed!
