Im pretty much the same as you... and I plan on doing what you did. Just got it changed a few weeks ago, not doing it again until after the break... I think people can get a little paranoid with certain things. I know people who have stored their cars in the winter without an oil change and never had a problem... Actually, now that I think of it, I dont think ive actually heard of anyone ever having a problem by having their old oil sitting in the car for storage. Also, whats the difference if the car is stored or not, it still has the same oil running/sitting in it regardless of being stored or not...
