Once a year or every 5,000 miles. Car manufacturers call out oil
changes every 7,000 miles or every 6 months (or so) but they
have to assume that the owner uses the car every day and if
they don't drive 7,000 miles in 6 months it is because the owner
drives a lot of short trips which doesn't allow the oil to get hot
enough to boil off the impurities. But a car that sits most of the
time doesn't have that problem.
And changing the oil more often than necessary generates more
waste oil that has to be disposed of (properly).
