Default Synthetic oil change - how often?

I changed my oil in June of 2012 and the car has been pretty much sitting since then outdoors. I have maybe put 300 miles on it. I am going to be getting it out of storage and begin driving it daily in city driving. Should I change the oil when I get it out of storage or can I drive it on this last oil change for a little while? Money is tight, this is why I am asking. As mentioned, the last change and many recent changes have been fully synthetic oil.

Thanks

You should be okay on that oil. Maybe bump the motor over a few times to get some oil into the top end, replace the gas if you didn't put some stabilizer in it, and check everything else on the car.

Yeah, your fine with that oil. Mine has sat the last three winters on the same oil. I sent it out for analysis, all came back good.
