Too bad you can't drive more and enjoy the car.

Do a search, you might have water on the floor due to clogged drains... that would allow you to drive it more.

Particularly if your drives are short duration, the oil has probably picked up its share of contaminants, so go ahead and change it.

However, do note that the engine oil isn't the only fluid in the car with a lifetime. Brake fluid will absorb water whether you drive, or not. Antifreeze has a definite lifetime. Parts that move may develop corrosion and become sticky or bind.

Best Regards,

Jim
