So little mileage I assume means fewer and shorter trips


If that's the case there is a chance the engine isn't heating up enough to burn off any moisture that builds up in 5ge oil and that can lead to future engine problems, so would get it done annually.

I have several cars that I drive short distances at lower speed in stop and go traffic and put 5k a year on, and even have sit in the garage without being driven for months. I always get the oil changed every 12 months, essentially when I un-garage them. JMO
