It's my wife's DD, a 2008 with about 60k on it - a whopping 7-12 miles per day. So that's what, under 6k miles per year.
I change the oil myself, annually, as she never hits the mileage. I stick to Castrol or Mobil full synth of the correct specified weight, not too fussy, and never worry about it.
BTW - in an interview with the guy who OWNS Blackstone Labs, he stated that he buys WHATEVER Oil is ON SALE, and just changes it as per the recommended interval. FWIW!
