Do you change oil at less than 2,000 miles?

Again, I'm not trying to extend the life of the oil I buy. I only want to fully utilize the oil that I do buy, rather than pour unused oil into the eco-station's waste-oil tank.

My last comment on this thread will be after I pick up a Nissan oil filter, hopefully tomorrow, to report what the service manager has to say about the scenario I've already stated. I hope the thread is not locked until after I report what he says, because what he says may interest some owners whose vehicles are in a similar, short-summer-only, low-km situation to ours.
