Living in LA - so I would guess alot of Stop & very little Go.

In that case, 6K OCI -- change every six months.

Depends on the driving conditions, but if it is stop and go driving I'd want a UOA done at around 6-7k miles to verify it's OK for extended use.

I would try between 5-6k miles, get a UOA then go from there.

I would change the oil November 1 every year.

Indeed which 5w30.
ASL or HDD he could probably go 12 months.

If XLF then six months.

12 months ain't no thang. Six months if he gets the itch.
