Here (Germany) is every 12 months if you don't reach the necessary miles. Personally, I don't care about frequencies and I change the oil together with the rest of the service every 12 months. I never do the necessary miles. If you don't track the car, I think a 6 months change is a waste of money and of resources. I take more care to push the car when the engine oil is warm enough etc.
