How bad is it to ride with winterized oil?

I recently got a ';free oil change coupon from my bike dealership'; that I want to use. That means I will have to drive about 30 miles with old oil that I changed back in November for winterizing (5 months ago). Will this be bad for my bike? Or will riding a few miles be OK? Once again, this oil has no miles on it, it's just old and unused.How bad is it to ride with winterized oil?
This will not hurt your bike at all..... in fact running it for awhile with this oil will give it a chance to get hot and get any condensation out of the engine stuck in those nooks and crannies. Over the winter the oil itself pulls moisture out of the atmosphere; running it will also push that moisture out of the crankcase. by all means, run it up to the dealer.How bad is it to ride with winterized oil?
