Type R Winter Storage!

Quick question - after changing oil for winter storage, do we need to start up engine and let it run the oil thoroughly for a minute or just let the fresh oil sit in over the whole winter? Please show your opinion, thx.

I would run the car so the oil gets run through the engine yes, but the less kilometres the better after the oil change before storage. I’d say a 5 min drive would be suffice!

So I plan on storing my 19 CTR that I purchased in August. It has about 3700 miles and mm is 60%. Should I change the oil? Would be my first oil change on the motor.

yes, i did mine. if you plan to have it in storage for months. Also, i put on a battery maintainer too, to keep the battery in good shape.
