Both my cars (late model, US spec, Honda and BMW) have oil change intervals "as indicated" OR every year, whichever is shorter.

The "as indicated" ends up being around 8-10k miles in practice, with start/stop cycles, short trips, and other factors swinging it higher/lower.

These days, we average <4k miles year per car, so use the annual interval.
