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

Im in the same boat with my Supra I drive it very little so it goes for a oil change every year hmm yearly inspection. I always get asked if the things flipped 100000 yet I say no those are orginal miles

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.
