I haven't done that yet, but I'm considering it. It just seems like a waste to throw away synthetic oil after only ~300 miles, so if I wait 2 years I'd get at least ~600 miles out of it.

Yeah i like i sad, i only drive my car once every 2 weeks. Sometimes i end up not even starting it for a month as i hardly ever drive it. And when i do drive it, i maybe drive it less than 10 miles total.
I guess i could start doing the once a year oil changes. I tried to change it every january and july. But i still have not yet changed it as i was supposed to in january. So i might just do it july.
The reason i posted this is just to hear from other members, but at the same time i think the manual says change oil ever 3k miles or 3 months which ever comes first..LOL..

Drive mine everyday, change the oil every 3500 or so. I do it myself so it cost me less than 26.00 every change. Thats with Quaker State full Synthetic

I am surprised to see that most people that have posted don't drive often. I drive mine everyday. I change it at 5000 miles and use regular Mobil 1 5000 oil. I probably change it about 3 times per year. My car currently has 132,636 miles. I have driven the car 14,000 miles since I bought it exactly a year ago earlier this month.

I drive my car less then 5k a year and run conventional. I change it every 10 months.
I ran the last 3 cars the same.
Last engine had 128k. Looked new on the inside, with perfect compression.
