For the best info - with your connection you should always be asking questions of your uncle. Let forum members help the less fortunate

I like to use the owner manual for a new vehicle and make a maintenance schedule for the first 100,000 miles. That way I can look at the mileage and compare it to the schedule and see when to change the filters or the spark plugs or the transmission fluid or the brake fluid and other items. Some things like brake fluid and radiator fluid is changed after so many months and not based on the miles driven.
With so few miles being driven I would consider adding fuel injector cleaner to the gas tank once a year and adding a fuel stabilizer the rest of the time.

It depends on how many hours you drive each month and the duration of your trips. An engine operates many more hours per gallon fuel consumed around town than on the freeway. With the rape at the gas pumps by the oil companies my 2022 Ford has been driven less than 1000 miles and so I do have fuel stabilizer in the gas tank.
When I have had vehicles with 60,000 or more miles of driving I have add a fuel injector cleaner to the tank figuring it can't hurt and might help. This applies to a gas engine and with a diesel it is a different matter entirely.
