Montana owned, garaged, 3000 mile 2014 1/2 Camry 4 cyl.. What oil & change interval would you advise for seldom driven vehicle like my wife's. Its been getting 6 month changes but Toyota says 12 month changes. Ive used Mobil 1 changed at 200 miles and then every 6 months. Am I wasting my money ?

+1.....your using a quality top-shelf oil....so extending your OCI out to 12....or even 18 months, should be OK, and save you a few bucks as well.

With your cold Montana winters, I would be using M-1 0w20 AFE, and a Fram Tough Guard filter.

There's no magic to that cheap oil filter.

12 month changes with 0W20 (assuming that's what manual recommends) until it's out of powertrain warranty then extend it to 24 months.
