Have you changed it yet since you bought it? If not, I'd probably change it now. If you already have changed it, you're probably good until next year.

No I have not changed it yet. I figured that if I change it now it will collect moisture over the winter and have to be changed in the spring.

At the same time, though, being brand new there is a lot of metal in the oil from assembly and break-in. I personally would want to get that out before it sat for 4+ months. Then I'd probably change it again after a month or so of driving it in the spring.

Question about this -- Having changed the oil before storage, should I change it again in the spring or run it with the oil from the winter storage?(it has Mobil 1 )

There is no need to change the oil unless the car is started during storage.
