2 Years Without Changing Oil?
95 that passes smog only gets driven 50 miles a month. The trips and environment warm up the oil on the dipstick beyond 120°F

I have a Jeep Rubicon that gets driven roughly 1000K per year.
Change the oil after Christmas every year and run non ethanol fuel.
It's also a good idea to keep the fuel tank full to prevent rust.
While vehicles manufactured several decades ago had mild steel tanks, these days the tanks are either plastic or stainless. There's nothing to rust.
Also, there's always headspace in the tank - you can fill it all you want, but there's a few inches of air above that fuel to provide for expansion.
When I replaced the fuel pump in our 2000 Four Winds on E-350 chassis, the tank was all stainless, and the filler inlet had an internal pipe that turned down into the tank. While the fill capacity was 55 gallons, I'd bet one could put 70 to 80 gallons in it from the fuel pump opening to completely fill the tank.
