I have a road trip coming up, about 1300km round trip and 1 more track day in September. Should I do another oil change before the road trip or before the last track day?

I only drive my car on weekends and I store it over winter. So ideally I would like to wait till next spring to change oil.

You won't really know until you get some Blackstone analyses under your belt. They can track by "hours" instead of miles, if you prefer.

I'd pull a sample after a few track days (pull it from the filter housing) and see what they say. Frankly, I think the oil in the car can stay in there longer. Just change it after the road trip or whatever -- highway miles are not hard on a car.
