Talking from experience when in the Military we did fuel oil dilution daily, lub oil analysis weekly in the ship's lab. Oil was only changed when solids were found that were not removed sufficiently with oil strainers, filters and centrifugal purifier. When fuel oil dilution reached 10% oil was changed since it doesn't evaporate only changes viscosity of oil to a thinner grade. Transferred to a smaller patrol boat that had no space available except to check fuel oil dilution. Monthly samples were sent to company that would give anyalsys of oil condition, when we completed recommend oil change a sample of new oil was sent to set base line without that you don't know what's going in engine or additives in refining, old school straight 30w.
The worse you can do with diesel or gas engine is idling for extended periods.
