How often should I change Mobile 1?
Hi, I have a 2012 Camaro SS with 3900 miles on it. I last changed the oil in July 2016 with 3000 miles and put Mobile 1 in her, the reason being I do not drive the car much and did not want to put in any dyno oil that would accept moisture. My question is in terms of time how often should I change the oil being it is synthetic Mobile 1?

I would recommend changing it once a year regardless of mileage. After a year it gets moisture and contamination... should be changed imo

Yeah, even with synthetic you have to change it once a year regardless of mileage. That's for the warranty. If the warranty is gone, then I don't think two years is really that bad. The moisture thing might bother me though. So, I'd do it every year. Better safe than sorry I guess.

I use Mobil 1 and change every 5k miles.

I agree - At least once a year. You need to drive it! Letting it sit is more harmful than not driving it. Rubber seals and O-rings will harden when they sit for a long time.
