Default car parked/oil question..

if my lt1 had been sitting for at least 3-4 months without moving.. does the oil turn sludging and like turn bad? as well as maybe have condesnation in the oil from the weather change? like cold to hot and back to cold? should i do a motor flush .. etc etc

Moisture in the crankcase from sitting for a few months is normal. Just change your oil, and take the car for a drive. The PCV system should take care of the rest.
