I wouldn't bother, winter is only a couple months long. how bad could it be to sit there till spring. I for sure would not worry about the filter.I have 1,000 miles since last change and sure won't be replacing that oil jut to sit thru the winter.
I don't understand - winter IS only a couple of months long.
What's this "winter storage" you speak of? ???
I'm about the same latitude as you and also not sure about "winter storage", so maybe my opinion doesn't carry the kind of weight as someone who can't open the garage door from November to March because snow is piled 8 feet deep against it.But even here, a lot of strictly "recreational riders" put their bikes away about now ..... I just can't do it. I won't say I ride every single week in a normal winter, as sometimes the ice stays on the roads for a week because they don't use salt, but I come as close as I can.... !Lannis

I just can't see a winter like that happening again for a while
....famous last words.'Smoke, I hope you're right but I remember the winters of '78 and '79 back to back bad winters around here.
The oil is a year old with moisture and combustion contaminants collected in it. At 3200 miles it's time anyway. Change it! Even using the most expensive oil, it's still less than $50 and is an easy job. Why wouldn't you?
45 deg C in western NSW last week. :D Wish I could see a decent winter .
Plenty of winter here in Stewarts Brook NSW if you wish to sample some. Frost from April to November most years though it stopped early this year in late September.Come down next May and we'll go firewood cutting.
That sounds like work. You cut, I'll mix the drinks :D
