Oil doesn't just go bad. The 3 months thing is to keep everyone going down to Jiffy Lube and paying for oil changes.

i agree..there's no way synthetic oil would go bad sitting for 3 months.and even then it doesnt, cause i drive the car every day.

Condensation - your PVC valve should ventilate enough to ensure there is no build-up

sludge - on new oil??

Combustion gases - only if he has bad rings and getting excessive blow-by. If so, then he has larger issues

don't believe the 3 month hype
