- 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!

Personally, I don't see a reason to. Our vehicles, as much as we love them, are not super high performance exotic vehicles. They will tolerate oil in a variety of conditions and forms.
In that same vein, for how cheap an oil change is, you may as well do it. if for no other reason than peace of mind
