2) would you start the car to drive around a bit or wait until spring before touching ignition?

Thanks!
Seems like a waste to put new oil in it pre storage, then let it sit and absorb moisture for months of extreme temp. variation. Used (not spent) oil in a non running engine seems to me to be able to keep corrosion away, drain and refill in the spring with fresh new oil !
