how was it stored? Check for little critters sitting under the hood - before you take it for a spin check your fluid levels and your tire pressure.

should be just fine (as long as teh battery has charge) should fire right up nothing to worry about. a oil change wouldnt hurt shortly after either. just let it idle for a bit to lubricate all teh seals before driving

would it be better to do an oil change before he starts the car?

he's going to need to run the car before doing the oil change anyway, otherwise the oil change is worthless
