Deep totally agree... like brand of beer I guess... lol. Makes sense starting and stopping, hot and cold, unburned gas, etc all end up contaminating the oil (acids, etc) after a season. Getting this out of the engine makes sense to me when we are done heating and cooling the engine (ie. running it to temp and then sitting overnight in -10 F). Oil is cheap compared to a breakdown. I plan to drain and refill the oil in mine (sled is new to me as of last March), might have 300 miles on it. Next April, I will change it again, but I understand everyone has their method and not one is right or wrong. Modern engines are tough, a friend of mine's wife never changed the oil in her car, ever... drove it to a Toyota garage, zero oil on dipstick, got her first oil change at 75,000, car drove away! So changing these once every 12 months beginning or end of season is likely nit picking when you pull out contaminants... as long as you do change it!

Wow that's crazy and I feel bad if I go 1000 over for a oil change. If it wasn't for me my wife would probably do that same thing. Actually last week she just told me that her car felt funny when driving at high speed so I looked at her tires...RACING SLICKS. Yeah maintence is a big thing for me. That's why I started this thread so I could kinda see what others do.
