low mileage drivers - oil changes?
for those who follow the time rather than mileage schedule, how often do you change the oil?

I change my oil every 3 months or 3000 miles, whichever comes first.

I use AMSOIL 5/30 and change it once a year with an additional AMSOIL oil filter change at 6 months.

I drive about 12,000 miles yearly.
