How many months between oil changes?

I know that Jiffy Lube is full of it, and you don't need to go every 3000 miles. What about the every 3 months part?

I have a 98 4runner with 99k miles on it. My last oil change was January 16. I still have put only 2200 miles on it. In the past, I've gone every 6 months, even if I hadn't hit 3000 miles yet (let alone 5000). Is that necessary? Do I need to get the oil changed based on the amount of time since the last service?
