Change it! Short trips are the worst. Any combustion produces water vapor
which will then condense. The result is bad oil contamination. Figure on an
oil/filter change once per year regardless of miles. The cost is less than
two cases of cheap beer. Engines in the cold climates have an even more
difficult life.

Last check. Last oil change was 3 years ago, but only driven about 800
miles. Each trip very short runs.
