I change the oil when I get the car. If it’s a car I don’t drive much, I haven’t changed the oil again yet. I also use Mobil 1 synthetic with the Ford filter. I know collectors that have cars with oil in them from decades ago. Of course you’d put fresh oil in a car like that prior to driving it again. A car that sits with modern oil in it won’t have any issues as long as the old oil is swapped prior to making it a driver again.

Funny thing when I bought my latest 500 mile Mystichrome vert... I put it on my lift to clean the bottom and discovered it had never had an oil change. It was still rocking its original grey factory oil filter:
