[QUOTE="ddgermann, post: 116560, member: 3537"] Rick this debate is epic. Frankly what is likely more important is how the car is stored. A heated garage would be the optimum place to avoid large quick temperature changes creating moisture from condensation and cracks on our precious Michelin tires. I store my Z06 and H1 in an insulated unheated garage and have no issues with moisture. Although I did find a couple cracks on my 15Z tires this spring. I just do the Corvette / Hummer storage rituals, cover and plug them into their battery tenders. We all have our own little storage routine. The oil change is just a personal preference for me. One thing that is relevant is where you live. Different humility and ambient temperatures would definitely influence what would be necessary to keep the car dry and preserved. Fresh oil would not be any benefit if the car was exposed to conditions where it was cycling through moisture events due to condensation from temperature changes. And I concede the point that frequent oil changes pretty much take the acid risk out of the equation. Likely not many Corvette owners who need to worry about that. :D Here in Edmonton humidity is not a big issue as long as the car is inside a fairly tight insulated garage so temperatures don’t swing too quick. Well it hasn’t been for me anyway. This topic never gets old. :thumbs: [/QUOTE]
