Oil / Oil Changes for Michigan 986

I know this has been done to death, but I'm having a tough time coming up with concise answers.

I bought my 2000 986S last April and it came from Northern California in the Bay area, where it was driven year round. Now it is in Michigan and I only drive it about 3000 miles per year and store it for 6 months during the winter.

It it's a fully synthetic oil and only gets 3k miles per year, do I still need to change it every year?

All of the oil company websites seem to indicate 0W40. They don't ask where I'm located, so I assume there isn't a different recommendation between CA and MI?
