Oil change after 6 months in storage?

[weezol]

Hey everyone, I'm coming back from overseas and had my 4Runner up on jack stands in a garage before I left. I did a fresh oil change right before leaving and added fuel stabilizer to the gas tank (drove with it too to get it through all the fuel lines).

My question is: is there any reason to change out the oil that's been sitting in it over the 6 months while I was gone? I had a friend start the car and run the engine up to operating temp a 1 - 2 times a month throughout the 6 months.

Thanks for any input

Check the dipstick and see what the oil look like, it should pretty much look like new.
If it looks good, I'd say you're good to go.

Sounds to me like you're good to go. For only 6 months and someone was starting it 1-2 times a month I think it's fine. I certainly wouldn't change the oil.
