I Think there are differnt points on this one. I usually only change in the spring. Most oil will totally drain into the pan over the course of the shutdown period. This will then not cause any problems with the storage. If you are dilligent in the spring for summerization and only run the engine for the period of time to heat up the oil for draining, the acidity problem is not as much as a factor. Ancor bay is correct but I feel there is no danger by storing with old oil and then changing in the spring. But as always check the owners manual to view their recomendations.
