Low-mileage driver, Mobil 1 - schedule for oil changes?

Just moved up to the 93SC from over a decade in the NG900 arena.
Have an '06 Combi with 100k. Prior owner ran Mobil1, I plan to keep that going.
But I only drive ~8k miles a year. So I'm probably going to hit time before miles on oil changes.
What thoughts do everyone have about how often I should change the oil? Every 6 months (which would be ~4k miles)? 5K miles / no longer than 1x a year?
I've done semi-synthetic on the old NG900, and ran every 3-4k miles, 6 months tops. Wasn't sure about the differences, either for this new to me engine, or using the Mobil1.
Any thoughts are appreciated!
