Just ordered some Mobil 1 5W50 at Napa online for the Boss's next oil change @ $5.99 a quart.......must be that monthly sale they have every so often.

Let me ask you guys:
I’ve been changing my oil every 6 months, but almost never reach my mileage quota of ~5k between oil changes.
My two engine guys at work say there’s no need for me to change it so often since I run the Mobil1 5w50; that once a year is fine.
What are y’all’s opinion?
6 months regardless of mileage, or (since I apparently don’t drive it enough) to just wait till I hit 5k miles (usually 8-10 months)?
No, but it does see the upper end of the tach. I mostly just hoon’d around in the mountains this past year.Any track use within those 8-10 months/5k miles?
High revs are fine - extended time at high operating temps is where the more frequent oil changes would come in. If you can still buy insurance and haven’t been thrown in jail, you’re more than likely good with the 5k mile change intervals.No, but it does see the upper end of the tach.
