I have a 1991 740 with 130K miles on the engine (L engine) and a 1995 940 with 66K miles. I drive the 740 in the Winter and the 940 in the summer. I use Amsoil Series 2000 0W-30 or Mobil 1 0W-40 year around in these cars and drive each less than 10K miles a year. I change the filter every 5K miles (Mann filters).

If I only change oil once a year in the cars, is it better to change it before being stored or after coming out of storage and just before being driven?

Thanks for your ideas on this.
