With that driving style you are an excellent candidate for extended engine oil changes; and our 4 liters are easy on oil. You may want to try an upper tier oil designed for extended life, like Amsoil Signature, Schaeffer 9000, or Mobil1 EP. For the price of a couple of UOAs (used oil analysis) you could likely extend your oil changes out, maybe even yearly depending on results.
I just ran Amsoil 10000 miles for one year of mostly local trips and the report indicated it could have gone a lot further. Using an Amsoil filter which is good for 25000 miles. Doing a second run of Amsoil now and will take it further, probably up to 15,000 miles. I will be running Schaeffer next to compare.

That's not true at all.
Putting 36k miles on a car in a year is far better than putting 3k miles on a car for 12 years.
In addition, I'd be very careful using unapproved boutique oils in the car.
36k a year is nothing.
