Honestly, I'm too lazy to walk. I think I will make my first oil change at 6 months and switch to a good synthetic and possibly go to 9-12 months after that. I also kind of like the idea of a lighter weight oil if it will be better. Any longer trips I take will be with my wife and we will drive her 05 xb. It already has 85k on it.

Short trippers are SUPER hard on oil I would NOT do 1x/Yr OC unlesss you want problems. At minimum do a winter/spring oil change. You need fresh oil through winter.
