IMHO when I store my car I don't change the oil. Unless the oil is VERY old and completly black modern oils have a very high capacity to hold dirt and moisture. I change the oil in the spring along with the filter after a good warm-up. Now is a good time though to get familiar with the Delorean vender of your choice. Yes,you could find a filter that will fit but it may not be of as good quality as one you can get from the venders of Delorean parts. They also give you a new copper gasket for the drain plug and I'm sure there are some "bits" or other parts that you could also order like a magnetic drain plug or a spare bulb or fuse. Order 2 filters so you don't have to go looking for 1 next year. If we as Delorean owners don't buy from the venders who make a livelyhood exclusivly supporting our cars then who will?
