Even though the "school solution" is yearly, with filter change every 6 months, a year should be no problem. It would certainly be adviseable to take it out monthly and run long enough to get the oil hot. That way, any moisture would be steamed off.
My mother's old Ford was run very seldom. Only time it got more than a couple miles was when my brother or I came back for a visit.
As I recall, I changed the AMSOIL about 3 times in 14 years (because I know the oil had be reformulated and upgraded). I did change the filter about once a year, when I remembered to bring one with me.
