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...

If you leave older oil in then change it (and the filter) before you run the engine after it's been sitting. I just can't believe how some people try to save 50 cents to pay a dollar later.
Oil is cheap and if you have to leave the car sitting for a while in winter, factor that into the purchase price of the car. Is $50 for an oil change really more than you can afford?
