This has been argued both ways a million times over and there's sound argument for both sides. I just change it annually because to me it's cheap peace of mind. I use synthetic liquimoly on my german cars and it usually comes out looking about the same as it does going in. Waste of time and money? Probably but I'm ocd like that. I also remove my wheels to clean them front and back just becauseIf you drive say 2-3K a year or have a seasonal vehicle and use modern synthetic oils, there is zero logic in changing it just because "It's been a year"
I've went 2 years on seasonal vehicles and half the time that oil is as clean as it went in, in gas vehicles.
