Ever consider using synthetics to extend the period between changes? More
up front cost but it basically evens out to be the same. Synthetics hold
up much better in storage as well as through regular driving intervals. If
I had a vehicle under these circimstances, I would do synthetics and only
change once a year. Just my two cents.
