That is very difficult to say. There are so many variables.
What is the oil used and how many additives?
The use and temperature of the engine?
How many cylinders and what average revs?
The manufacturer will have done tests in developing the engine.
If the guide lines are followed and the suggested oil used, they will have come up with a guide time for renewal.
In a static engine (eg a generator) the age can be measured in hours run. These engines usually have an hour meter included for this purpose. Simply deduct the manufaturers recommended time, from the hours run since last change.
On a vehicle, it will be a combination of miles driven and age, since last change. Oil will deteriorate even if not used and may even absorb moisture if not run up to temperature.
