What should I do????

My car hasn't been started up since January or driven since August. I just came home from spring break and want to take her around the block. Should I change the oil now or just start it up with the oil already in there and change it when I come home in May for summer (I will drive the car daily from May 16th-August 25th). The oil has about 2000 miles on it and I use Mobil 1. And if I change the oil should I start the car up to get the oil warm and flowing or just change it cold b.c its been sitting for so long?What are your suggestions.

Start that baby up. It only takes about 10 seconds to build oil pressure. You might want to check the oil level first before start-up though just to make sure. Don't "drive it like you stole it" right off the bat. Let everything get lubricated first. It's not like you had it in storage for YEARS or anything. Have fun on your break, and don't get too crazy:D
