Last question,

Any suggestions here?
That oil can stay for 2 seasons and absolutely should. There is No Cheap Insurance here; that is a Myth, as there is more of a change of DAMAGE to bearings and hydraulics with the extra oil changing and concomitant dry starts.
The Acid neutralizers in the oil are plentiful and active. There will be no "acid" in there.
Just get her hot and on a good strong drive before she gets put to bed.
