Does my Camry need an oil change after 6 months of storage?

I just got back from a six month business trip, and my 2005 Camry has been in a garage for the duration of my trip. It's been started once every two weeks or so, just to keep the battery from dying. I got an oil change right before I left for my trip, and now that I am back I am wondering if it needs an another one? I've driven it around town just running some errands, and it drives fine. I just want to make sure that I am not damaging the engine.

"It's been started once every two weeks or so, just to keep the battery from dying."

Starting a car and not running or driving it for a period of time builds up condensation in the engine and the oil. I'm sure the car runs fine, but for $30 or so for an oil change, I would change it again. It's cheap insurance IMHO.
