oil change

I changed my oil last summer and only drove roughly 1K miles before I unexpectedly had to park the car, and haven't driven it since. I'm going to be getting the car back on the road, hopefully, and am wondering if the Royal Purple synthetic that I have in the car is still good.

My last oil change with 8 quarts of synthetic blend cost $88. After research, I found that the mixture of regular oil to full synthetic oil is 3 to 1 to achieve the same synthetic blend. On the GT, that means I can attain the exact ratio by using 6 qts regular 5w20 and 2 qts 5w20 full synthetic...
