Bradley, so then would I be fine with using the oil that was in storage? Because I'd prefer option 1.

Option 1
Change oil in November/or (when i put it in winter storage)
Change oil in May *6 month interval* (I bring out the car usually in March/April so i would drive with the oil that was in storage for 1-2months)

I just heard people say moisture builds up so it's why I'm confused about it.

Anyways if you are doing it that way, than I think I'll do the same since I like that method the best. Just feels like such a waste of new oil to e drained out when I didn't even use it.
