I don't drive my car enough, so I had to do it the same as you. I did my first after 7 months and my second after another 6 months.

That being said, time in engine is less relevant with today's good synthetics, so it's not as much as an issue as it was in the past, re: oxidation.

Still, I think it's prudent to do it every 6-7 months regardless of mileage just for peace of mind. It's not that expensive, and I enjoy doing my own oil change.
