For that low a milage rate I would recomend 1 a year with Mobil 1. Or 2 times a year with Dino.

I generally change my own oil 2 times a year with Mobil 1. These days I'm running my 560SL 13,000 miles per year. I owned my 1993 Ford Taurus since new. It went to 220,000 miles with no precivable engine wear and I was running that one about 16,000 miles a year with changes 2 times per year using Mobil 1.

My F150 truck now has 170,000 miles I use Mobil 1 and change once a year since I'm down to only 7000 miles a year on it.
