Once a year in spring, i've only put 500 miles on her this year so mileage isn't a concern.

In my 82, 10,000 miles is the rule, as it is all highway driving, so twice a year. In the Z, which will only see 3-4K miles per year if that, I will probably change every year. I already out Mobil 1 5W-30 in it when purchased, but will probably change to the Amsoil 10W-40 soon. To avoid any condensation in the engine, I always start the engine once a week, sometimes once every two weeks and let the engine run to full operating temps even if I don't go for a ride, this way you boil off any condesation that may form thus eliminating that situation......

Harvie, good tip...might have heard that before but never paid any attention to that idea. Where is the best place to buy the "dry bags"?
