just an idea, but this may do more harm than good, but if your gonna store it, would draining the oil be bad?

most of the oil sits in the pan, there is no real need to drain it. if you dont plan on driving or starting in cold weather you dont need to change your oil weight. if your going to let it sit 2months you really need to consider a fuel stabilizer, and be sure not to boost until the storage gas is all used up later in the year.

its best also to leave the oil in the tank rather then draining it so it doesnt rust. i got 10-w40 for the winter and the fuel stabalizer for the tank. thanks guys.
