How often do you change your oil?

I have an 07 coupe I bought new. The manual says change the oil every 3750 miles or 3 months. My car now has 4600 miles on it and if I changed the oil every 3 months I think I'd be wasting $ as I don't put enough miles on the oil. Plus it's a partial synthetic which I have no problem using beyond 3 months. My service manager at the local dealer emailed me and said go with the miles, not the months for my car.
My main question is--should I change the oil at least twice a year anyway?
Thanks.

Oil changes....how often?

If you really care about your car and want it to last use a full systhentic
oil and change it every 3K miles.
