What's the logic in changing the oil before you store it? I would think you'd want to do it after you pull it out of hybernation. Wouldn't there be a chance moisture could form on the inside of the block while sitting for a long period of time? If you change oil before putting it away, that moisture would get in your new oil. If you change it when pulling it out of hybernation, the new oil would be free of moisture.

What am I missing?
