How often do you change your oil?

I change the oil on my daily driver roughly every 5K miles. But my T/A is a very low mileage (50K total) 305 that I barely put 2 - 2.5K miles on in a year. I drive it like the cruiser that it is…well, most of the time, anyway.

Right now, I change my oil once a year at inspection time. I use Mobil One and it runs great.

How often would you change the oil on that engine? I don't see a need to do it more than once, but I could easily be wrong.

Once a year is o.k. As long as you aren't running the car under any adverse conditons, which at that annual mileage, I must assume you are not.
