Start it, get it warm, and then change the oil. There is a slight chance if you do it cold that your oil pump will lose its prime.
9 months is fine. Oil should still be clean if it was when you stored it. If you used Stabil, you may need to get some Pri-G to get it running, or trash the gas. |

Is it time to change the oil, or are you changing it because it's only 9 months old?

How much are you going to drive it now and how many miles/time on the oil in it.
Just to the store, I wouldn't change it. |

I wanted to change the oil regardless cuz of the age of the oil.
The car has a turbo and i know that turbos are pretty hard on oils as well. Quoted:

Yeah, um 3 months or 3,000 miles.
Read the label of that ultra synth. Might be a 1yr oil or something different. The additives in the oil have shelf life's as well. |

From what I have always been told regarding motorcycles, it is best to store them with clean oil. If you don't, the oil should be changed right after storage..
It probably won't hurt anything if you don't, but that probably takes what...4 qts? might as well spend the ~35 bucks and change it, especially if it has quite a few miles on it anyways lol |

I appreciate tastefully done imports (no ricer crap). The gas is probably bad, even with Stabil 9 months is a long time for modern gas just to sit around. I wouldn't risk running a car boosted @ 22psi with 9 month old gas. I would add 5 gallons of fresh gas before start up. Would also change the oil just to be on the safe side. |
