This reminds me of the oil change requirement that you see so frequently of "5000 miles or 6 months, whichever occurs first". It's as if the oil goes bad just sitting in the vehicle.

Maybe I'm wrong, but as long as the oil looks good (amber & clear), I think changing it would be a waste (no pun intended). :D
