Message	My concern is moisture and rust in the crankcase. I rarely drive more than a few thousand miles per year. However, during that period I have started and stopped the motor hundreds of times. Often these starts where not long enough to get up to operating temps and burn off condensation in the crankcase. So I change at least once per year, regardless of mileage.
