As stated im going to drive my moms leased car instead of my speed 6 for a few months until her lease is up. Im 500 miles till my next oil change. Should I go ahead and stick clean oil in there or just wait?? Does it make a difference?
 
Any time you will be laying a vehicle up you should change the oil. If not you run the risk of acids in the used oil attacking the internals of your engine. It is also a good idea to use a gas stabilizer (such as StaBil, available at WalMart and elsewhere) in your tank as modern gas formulations begin to break down in as little as two weeks. Do a Google search for winter motorcycle layups, that should give you some idea of what to do in order to make sure your car is ready to go.
 
Well ill proabably be taking it for a little drive every couple weeks or so. So its not going to be totally undriven for the 3 months.
