MrBen, I'm in the same boat as you. I put in maybe 2000 miles last year. I chose to change mine. I've read that oil becomes acidic after some time, but I guess that applies more to conventional, not so much synthetic. There's also blow-by that contaminates the oil, but with 2000 miles, I don't think that's a big deal. Question is, even with minimal blow-by contamination, what does that do to the oil after sitting for so many months?

For me, changing the oil once a year regardless of the low miles is not a big deal.

You're most likely perfectly fine not changing it. I guess in this situation it all comes down to personal preference.
