Oil additives aged significantly in 6 months? Won't think so -- they age
and wear due to elevated temperature and stress in a running engine, but
surely not very much in a stationary and (presumably) pretty cold engine.
I'd go for the autumn oil change, and keep the oil in the engine untill
the next autumn - depending on mileage of course.
There will be some condensation collected during the winter season. But
not enough to warrant an oil chance, I'd say. It should all disappear
during the first long weekend trip, anyway.
