This may be a dumb question. I added auto-rx to my fresh oil change this summer. I think it was July or August. I bought 3 bottles of the stuff, 2 for the oil as a cleaner, and a 3rd for the maintenance intervals. There are at most 2000 miles on this oil. Now, its getting really cold here. Today it was around 5F. The truck wouldn't start today, it cranked really slow, so I am forced to make sure the batteries are topped up at all times, but changing to a 10w-30 helped out last winter also.
So with only 2k on my current oil, (Rotella 15w40), which also has $50 worth of Auto-rx in it, is it advisable to drain this oil, filter it somehow, and store it to be put back in next spring. Normally I wouldn't fuss about this, but with the Auto-rx, and the low mileage 10 quarts of oil, that would be alot of money down the drain, especially when your a broke college kid like me.
