Change it now?

[iontrap]

My wife drives an 02 Solara 3.0. She does very little driving, around 800 miles per month. Last November I used M1 5w30 and a wix filter. It now has roughly 4700 miles on the oil and filter, the oil looks almost new. Should I go ahead and change the oil and filter now or just the oil and change the filter next OCI?
Gonna use Penzoil 5w30 this OCI.

If you do anything, change the filter. Don't just change the oil and not the filter. It would better if you did the opposite.

I would change it and do a UOA. Then you know what condition your oil is next time your in this predicament.

Most of her driving typically is 12 miles per day. So I should leave it in for a couple of month's more then change?

I think it should be safe, but do a UOA when you're done to give you more info for the future.
