Oil Change after Winter Storage?

I stored my car for the first time this winter, and I did not know I was going to be storing it until very late, as I got my old car back from my brother to use as a winter beater.

So I've googled whether or not I should change my oil after pulling it out of storage to no end, but since my situation is a little bit different from what I've been able to find, I'll be concise here and hope I get an answer to reassure myself.

- Changed oil Sept 30th, 2018 at 32,582kms with Eneos 0w-20 Synthetic and the OEM Black Subaru filter.
- Drove the car until Nov 11th 2018, when I stored it for the winter time at 34,755kms
- The car has not been turned on since storage.

Should I change my oil once the car is out of storage? Or should I drive my typical OCI of 7,500kms like normal? I know that Synthetic has a much longer usable life than dino oils.

Thanks!
