Oil shelf life

[speedyb]

Hello All. I'm new here, and think the forum is great.
My question, I am running Pennzoil Platinum 5w20w and have about 400 miles since my last oil change.
I will garage my car (2013 Charger) for the winter. Should I worry about the quality of the oil next spring when I start driving it again?
Thanks again.
By the way, I think Pennzoil is the best.

Nope.

Welcome again!

The oil will be just as fresh as it was when you poured it in. If you have it stored in a non temperature controlled garage, i suggest you take it out for a good hot drive after you bring it out of storage to remove any residual condensation that may form.

Like others have said, you'll be fine. You picked a great oil. Why are you garaging your car for the winter?

Probably because of the high precipitation in his climate, or the lack of traction of the high powered real wheel drive vehicle.

Just take it for a nice drive after being it out of storage.. Burn off condensation..
