Default oil change
Just put 3300 miles on it this weekend, then change it Sunday evening. What's the problem?

What i do is leave it untill i take it out of storage, then i change it. It doesn't matter to me if i have 1000 miles in or 100. Normall running of the eng will create harmful deposits in the oil, gas and blow by all get mixed in the oil, and over winter, condensation will form in the engine just from difference in temperature. If nothing else, at lease drain and fill it.

It'll be fine.
There, I fixed it for you
Not really, but thought it would add to less stress of the new owner.
