Can anyone give me a good sense of which method is better?
What about the first startup? The new oil slowly soaks up all the old contaminants over the winter and runs them through the system on first startup. I feel like all those contaminants have time to settle to the bottom through the winter, and then you drain them all out and put the fresh oil in, not to mention the idea of new oil being at the top of the engine quicker on a first. start up after an oil change. I also worry about engine wear after a long winter of settling.
A very long time. I loved my 350Z and drove it until the seats wore out, which was not a very accommodating situation for someone with a horrible back injury. I moved back to NH at about the same time, and it was the end of any racing. I have a '23 Performance in Rosewood now.
I am involved. I typically do one to two events per year. The one I never miss is the one at the Larz Andersen museum. My son and I drive both cars down there with the club. We typically meet up in Bedford and head down. Where in NH are you? You should join in on some of the cruises.
