It depends more on mileage than time, but I don't see why it would say to not change your oil for a whole year, something is off there.

I change my oil once a year, but I only drive like 1500-2000 miles a year

Once a year oil changes for a garage queen is not bad, I could possibly do one before storing it, but I'm just gonna drive her a couple more times and store her ass.

i go 10,000kms between oil changes. but now i think the valve seals are leaking and i'm losing oil. so this time i just changed the filter and topped it back up with 2L of fresh syntec.

The manual most likely said XXXXmiles OR 12 months, whichever comes first.
