setting up an engine with moisture in it could combine to form acids and also some rust.

Any modern oil worth its weight, comes with a very high base additive in that will neutralize acids for up to 10,000 miles or more. So acids are no longer a problem as the oil is designed to handle them.

New engines keep the oils extremely clean for much longer. Only reason to change the oil that often is to make the oil change guys rich...

Yes modern engines require a better oil.. but better oil is sold everywhere. If you buy the oil the meets or exceeds the manufacturers specs, your good for an easy 7500 miles. Mobil one says you can go much further than that.

I would recommend the better thing to do is to start up the engine and run it up to normal temp periodically as a far far better thing to do if you dont drive it often. Trying to drive it down to the store once a month is far better than changing the oil every day.

Yeah, I know a salesman who has never read the owners manual, and didnt make it out of high school,, told you the factory engineers dont know squat.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
