The same applies to old women. Best to always shut it down completely and clean. Airplanes are what I know best. So parking with clean coolant and oil is the best way to store a motorhome. This applies particularly in warmer climates because chemical reactions slow down in colder temps. Bad acids eat bearings!



Did my oil change in October when I parked my rig. Dug it out last weekend, first trip is April 1st. Today it is minus 20 C about -2 F outside.

Makes sense so my spring oil change just turned to a fall oil change
