Ive never seen a point in changing oil without driving the car. I change mine every 3000 miles and dont go by months or years.

And yeah the same gas stays in it during the winter. I didnt drain the tank in the year that my car didnt have a motor either and it started right up without a gas related problem once the new motor was in.
