Default Oil change schedule weekend driver

My '93 coupe gets driven to town about once a week. I like to keep the battery charged, and go thue the heating cycle. I only went about 2k miles over the past 15 months, this includes one trip down to the beach at the beginning of this summer.

You guys that have garage queenies, as I do, how often. do you change oil and filter? I have always used the Mobile synthetic that is recommended.

THANKS

Its cheap insurance. $55 per oil change.

Why not do it twice a year?

If you buy the Mobile 1 during the Spring rebate sale the cost of a change drops a lot. You can sign up at the Mobile 1 website to be notified when the sales happen. Dan
