Oil change info

Hey

I sent this request tp Pedro's Garage but I forgot that he is most likely at Sebring for the weekend. I have an 01 Boxster S with 21,412 miles on the odemeter. I change oil and filter once a year and accumulate around 3,500 miles between oil changes. A year has passed and it's time to change oil once again.

My question is, do I need to drive the car 1st to warm up the oil? The weather is wet outside (the car is kept in a heated garage) and I don't want to get the under carriage dirty. If necessary I can wait until it's nice out and drive the car a few miles before changing the oil or I can just let it idle 30 minutes or so if needed. Your thoughts are appreciated.

Lou
