The car is parked for the winter, would it make much difference to change the oil now or would it be better to wait till spring when the car will be driven again?

now

Acids,water, and contaminants that accumulate in used oil will attack and etch your internals when allowed to sit undisturbed for long periods of rest,like winter.Better to change and let run till new oil is distributed and leave it alone till spring.

Change the oil in the beginning, this will prevent sludge forming.

I change mine always in the fall, but then again I will sneek the car out in the winter if the roads are absolutely super clean of fresh snow.
