When to change the oil and what filter is best?

Hi gang,
I only put about 6,000 miles on a car per year. However, mostly it is city driving. With that in mind, I am wondering if I should do an oil change every 5 months. If I use Mobil 1, will I need to change it sooner than that?
I have read all the good reports regarding Mobil 1, but I have not read any comments regarding oil filters. Mobil 1 also makes an oil filter which they claim is designed for longer change intervals. I have also read about the K&N oil filters which seem to be designed more for sports cars or is the Saab filter good. I am curious as to which filter people have chosen to use on their Saabs and why?
Thank you.
