Taking 10 minute oil change to a new level lol. They're covering maintenance on this one for 4 years and I've got a 7 year 100,000 mile warranty also.

I once knew someone that had a 1994 camary and only changed the oil once a year and sweared by it. I think it had like 260,000 miles on it and he did all the maintinence work himself. I personally wouldnt do it but just suprised me how long it lasted. I think 5k is a good point to do it though and especially if they are doing it for free.

Theres no way i would go that long on intervals. I think 5k is good considering they wanted me to wait til 10k.
