Change this oil?

Motorhome Generator. I changed the oil July 07 using Redlne 10w30 at 100 hours(first 67 hours were over 7 years). Anyway, this Redline oil has 29 hours and 15 months on it. Generator gets run once maybe every two months. But I am thinking maybe should change it, or would it be okay to leave in?

I'd change it yearly just to make sure the oil didn't degrade or become overly contaminated.

Change it at least every Fall.

I would change it, just because of the time factor.

I'd be inclined to say no....waste of an expensive oil.

In something that sees little use, something this stout could almost be considered a 'lifetime fill'....

Only problem could be water. I'll do a spoon test. One drop on a spoon, hold a butane lighter flame below it and if it spits and pops then there is significant water, if not I guess should keep running it. Thought the temptation is there to try out the Amsoil.
