Oil and filter once a year gives me peace of mind for the price of 1/2 tank of fuel. I know it is overkill but I feel better - and have more regular opportunities for tinkering!

 I seen this video 2 years ago. Although it is not perfectly scientific it does validate much of what the industry it touting regarding oil change intervals regarding age.

 


 One other interesting aspect of engine oil is there are peer reviewed engineering white papers that show that frequent oil changes creates more wear in certain use cases. It has to do with the levels of detergency that is abrasive and needs time to settle out after around 1k miles.  After that the engine will show the lowest wear numbers.
