Oil Change before/after Winter storage?

I would start it and warm it up. Then everything will be coated. If you change it before then there is a possibility of a lag no flow as the filter has been emptied when you put the new filter on. As far as draining, the difference you get out it probably a non factor, unless you start tipping the car like someone did in here. Jmo
If the amount I get out during drainage is negligible, I'll just drain then I'll prime the engine before starting with fresh oil. Really, there is such little mileage on the oil, I may keep it a bit longer.

It's not that uncommon, in the 993 for example you pull the DME relay and crank the engine over a few times to build up oil pressure and then reinstall and fire it up. I don't bother doing it but I know many do.
This thread has been good for a chuckle or two. I'd like to add to my Pcar collection so I am going to begin promoting an oil change before storage, during and after LOL. You can never be too safe since we all know these cars are as delicate as faberge eggs.

I am very well aware of the illogical need to overservice my cars and do so more because of a sense of comfort than need.
My ten year old 7.1RS has 34,000km on it which includes a 5000km German road trip. Yet it has had minimally an annual Fall oil change plus one or two post track in its early years.
Yes, it’s unnecessary. But the whole car is completely unnecessary too. Does not need annual detailing either
