My mother-in-law puts about 100 miles a month on her inheritted Toyota Camry 4 banger... I'm considering changing her oil once a year with M1 5W30. What is the best time of year to do the oil change, in terms of oil/engine life?
I'm thinking the fall is the best time, because winter is harder on the oil and engine than summer... would seem a better idea to have the freshest oil in there for the harshest conditions.
Ideas? Gathered wisdom? Personal experience? Lemme have it!
