Missing the Z :(

If you change the oil right before storage and pull it out 4ish months later is it necessary to change the oil again?

To put things in prospective I know many Z's sit on dealer lots for quite a while and the dealer is definitely not changing any oil upon purchase and most people drive them 5,000 miles to the next oil change. I'm thinking sitting for4 months or so with fresh oil and then driving 5,000 miles won't be too detrimental but would love to get your thoughts.

And back on topic... once winter ends in Boston, probably mid June, I'll let it run for a while, reduce my tire pressure from 48 psi to 35ish, drive it around town for a bit and give it a nice wash and detail. Then repair the rock chips on the Nismo rims with the KAV touch up paint and see how that goes.

Driving my focus ST through the winter, but can't wait to get back to rear wheel drive!

Something about water condensation in the oil from storage.
