Changing it twice would be safest. But if you have some used oil from a
_recent_ oil change which doesn't have tree leaves in it and less than
10,000 miles on it, you could use it to "flush out" the engine (by running
it to operating temp.) and then put in fresh oil.
OTOH, oil is very cheap in this country...
