How often do you change your oil?

About 10K or so, oil, filter, fuel filter.

I keep it at 6k miles or so on all our cars.

I also change the oil and filter on the boat engine every fall. I would
change it more often if I put on more than the 50-80 hours/season I put on
the boat. We only used our larger boats for general cruising, mainly to
beaches for swimming.

This year may be different as the boat we now own is smaller and will be
conducive to fishing once I replace the helm seat. It is also small enough
that I can comfortably take it out by myself.

I will change the oil on the boat at 100 hours (and again at haul out)
when/if I reach that number this year.
