I've always changed my oil right before spring riding season . ( I've always lived in the north ) Question is , how soon before spring riding should it be changed ?
My bike is parked in my garage ( it's unheated ) on a charger / maintainer with SeaFoam mixed into a full tank of gas . I'm afraid if I change the oil now ( just got a new ALTRider Skid Plate in , but want to wait until I change my oil and filter before installing it ) I may get condensation in it before spring riding season gets here because of the temperature fluctuations this time of year . Warmer days and cold nights ) .
Any motorcycle technicians on this site with an opinion on this subject ?
Thanks for your time.

P.S.
I do have a wood/coal stove in my garage that I light from time to time when I want to work in there . The garage is also connected to my house and has a door leading to the kitchen , so some times I light the stove when the temps outside drop below zero and leave the kitchen door to the garage open to save on the home heating bill .
