On my car club's own message board, the topic of winter storage and oil changes came up, and I just wanted to confirm that I answered the question correctly.
Someone asked if there is a need for a second oil change after the winter storage is done, if it already had a fresh oil change right before storage and the car was not driven or started? My answer to this question has always been that there is no need for that oil change in the spring, since the oil in there is going to be just as good as if it was still in the bottle, other than a bit of moisture which will burn off on the first drive.
I'm 99% sure that I'm correct on this one, but just wanted some back up to make sure I've been giving the right advice all these years!
