Considering the cost of changing 10 quarts of synthetic oil - debating when to change my oil next. I last changed it in May 2020, about 2K miles ago...

Oil minder is showing 25% life left.... Not sure if this is based on mileage or engine hours, I'm debating if it would make sense to change it when I wake it up from the winter hibernation (hopefully in Mar/Apr 2021) or do I let it go until at least 5K miles

Had an 88 Iroc Convertible for prior to this (had just put 500 miles/year on it) but changed the oil just every other year with synthetic blend

I recognize it's "cheap" insurance vs engine wear, but just curious what most people here do.
