Ah, yes, finally an expert saying what I, not an expert, have been saying for years. Thank you Steve. I have my oil analyzed at 200 hours. If the lab says the oil is still good to use, it stays in the engine. So many guys say "yeah, but changing oil at 100 hours is cheap insurance", but it is not cheap. It is a total waste.
Question for those more expert than me. Like many boaters in New England, my boat is used for about 6 mos. then hauled and stored outside for 6 mos. Given that scenario, is it a good idea to change the oil yearly before storage as I do, or am I wasting my money if my seasonal hours were only 100 for example?
