T,
Yes, have the oil change done. It appears that you do not put many miles on your car which means it is sitting. Oil, even the synthetics, will break down over time. Being as oil is the life blood of the engine, it is a good idea to replace it every 5,000 miles or six months provided that you are using Mobil 1 or one of the other synthetics on the market.
I replaced the factory oil in my 2001 9-3SE with Mobil 1 at about 1,000 miles. Check the owner's manual. It is very specific about what type of oil to use.
