From a recent conversation with a dock member regarding winterization they were not planning on changing their (diesel) oil because they had not put many hours on the boat this season. The PO of our new boat did the same last season before I purchased … so it is not uncommon thinking, although I haven't had one of these seasons!
Got to wondering how common this is and if you would consider not changing your oil annually if you had a 'low-hr' season? what would be the number of hrs at which you would make this call? does it matter if it is gas or diesel engine?
