I'm going to follow your conservative approach. I change oil at around the year mark, but I've only put on 3,500 miles per year on average over 4 years. Changing every 6 months would be overkill for me, I think. Even changing just the filter every 6 months would probably introduce a bigger risk in breaking it at some point compared to waiting for the year.

I don’t drive a lot of miles either but for me my concern would be how long the oil sits in the engine too. Also conventional wisdom would seem to be the longer the filter is saturated with oil the more likely it looses its structural integrity but this could all just be guess work who knows.
