Makes you almost want to go start it every 3-4 days in the winter just to keep the oil moving around. As SanMarino said though, not the same as having the engine under load. I wonder if we graph this what the oil "loss" would look like at 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, etc. and find where the "risk threshhold" is and see how it increases over time. I know, I need to get a life

Great comments everyone, but I have another twist to add...
My s2k unfortunatly has not had a chance to take a rest and has been driven almost everyday. I have noticed that anytime it is cold and I fire her up in the morning she will stall out, i will then start it up again right away and it will idle w/o problem. I dont know what is wrong with her this time but she's going back to the dealer to be checked out, i'll let you guys know if they find anything of interest.

Wow I have a headache. As I recall the manual says do not drain the oil when you put the car in storage. Lets say I drain the oil put it in storage then have an engine problem that the dealer says was caused by draining the engine of its oil. What happens to my warranty?

What the hell does a Honda Engineer have to do with the way you store your car? Check Honda's maintenance schedules over the years and you will see they change. Just recently Honda changed it schedules for all 01 vehicles for a 30k. Now was Honda wrong before? NO With the amount of complaints Honda received about the price of maintaning there cars they dropped it. Do what works and what you know works.
