In an old, carbureted engine with points ignition, would right before winter be the best time to change the oil?
My logic is that during the winter ( i drive it year round ) the engine takes quite a while to warm up, so the automatic choke stays on for longer which means the engine is running richer, and more fuel is being dumped in the oil.
Or would right before summer be the best time? It can get to nearly 100F in July and August here and the engine does get quite hot if it has to run for a long time in that heat, even though it never gets to the point of overheating.
Bit of an odd question but what would you do?
