Do a 25 mile spirited highway drive atleast once every like 3 months and I think it would be fine. Gotta burn off contaminants, water from humidity etc.

My 2016 that I bought new just turned over 44000 miles, so ~ 58-5900 miles a year. It's a DD with short trips and a monthly highway blast. The first 5 years I had a 4-mile commute each way to work. That means it barely warmed in the winter, and a/c never got to cool it in the summer. We see temps of 110+ F. all summer, and winter would drop to the 30s. There are also dust devils and occasional dust storms.
Rather than going by mileage (recommended intervals for light duty with my car was 7500 miles) we went with time, doing oil changes twice a year. I usually keep my cars 10-12 years, and regular service seems an inexpensive preventative measure.
18 months ago, I did a 6000-mile road trip, so that was a 7500-mile oil change.
