How often should I change my engine oil?

I have a 2005 Hyundai Tucson Diesel SUV. I drive maybe about 1000 miles per year (not a month, year). How often should I change the engine oil? The car sits unused for a couple of weeks at a time. I use it primarily to go shopping and the very odd trip out with the family.

Thanks.How often should I change my engine oil?Well once or twice a year will be okay for your car even though you dont reach the mileage for regular routine service. It is important to change it regularly even though your not using it that much. I myself have a lots of cars that im not using as my regular commute car, but i see to it, they are being check by a mechanic regularly, do the change oil and oil filter. to make my engine last longer. Hope my answer helps!How often should I change my engine oil?Twice a-year with filter. Use top grade oil too. 10-40 synthetic in normal climate. Right, expensive. I have a '91 Mustang GT with 90,000 miles and runs like a bullet.How often should I change my engine oil?Since you drive the vehicle very infrequently, once a year for an oil change would be okay....even if you only put on 1000 miles a year.How often should I change my engine oil?Once a year
