The bigger question would be run time. If you've only driven it 500 miles in two years but start it up and let her run for a while every so often (which at a minimum is a good idea to keep that oil up in the engine where it does it's job) then changing it is a good idea since the heat and contamination are the main things that make oil go bad.

Otherwise there won't be too much difference between sitting in the engine and sitting in the bottle other than being open to atmosphere, which isn't as big a deal for oil as it is for brake fluid.

I change the oil in the Desoto at the end of the year before I put it away for the winter, regardless of mileage.
