Changed oil before storage, change again before startup in spring?

I changed the Mobil 1 oil in my Z before I put it into storage last fall. Do you think I should change the oil again before I start it up this spring or just change it at my next 2,500 mile interval?

Why would you change it? The oil is still brand new, just wait until you put your 2,500 miles on it before changing it again. The oil in there is just fine, do not worry.

I wouldn't change the oil again, however what I do after winter storage is pull the coil wire (or fuse for fuel pump to keep it from firing) and crank it for a while to get some oil circulating before starting.
