Even with Synthetic and Low Miles, I still wouldn't wait longer than one year (even if the oil life monitor was still relatively high). I know cars today don't need the old fashioned "3 months or 3,000 miles" like yesteryear's cars did, but going longer than one year...even if the car could handle it...is just something I can't do.

GM agrees w/ you. If you read the manual (Section 11, I believe), it says do not exceed 10 months w/out changing the oil.
