Can I get my complimentary oil change sooner?
 

I'm at 5,000 miles, first dealer oil change won't be until 7,500. But I took my car for a drift practice event once, and pushed really hard on the engine. Can I get the dealership to change my oil early or do I have to wait for 7,500?

If I'm able to get it, that means the next one after this at 15,000 miles should be done at 12,500 instead, right?

I've also wore down my tires to around 50% at the event and probably have slightly messed up the alignment. It says they do tire rotation together with the first oil change. Does that include balancing and alignment?

My dealership is letting me do my oil changes at 5k/10k/15k.I just did the 5k oil change and they had no problem letting me do this. I prefer doing it every 5k. About the tires, they rotated mine and set air pressure. No balancing or alignment was ever done. I think that would be coming out of your pocket.

I did mine at 4000km. Mine sees lots of Autox and track use so I change it every 4000

Yes. I did mine after my break in period at 1k miles

I was denied when they saw I didn't hit 7500...

Most are pretty cool about letting you get it done early, but they will still only give you three.
@Wo6M, might be worth trying another dealer. Most that I've talked to don't care about miles, just how many they will give you for free.

I know mine told me I had to be within 1000 miles, but try another like others have said.

I will try another as soon as I get some time off work. Hopefully next weekend.
Thanks.

I did mine at 1.5k. At first I wanted to do it at 1K but dealership refused. I called in again and said I am allowed to do my FREE oil change anytime I want according to Scion Canada and they booked me right away

My dealer offers oil changes at every 5k miles. I got my first one done at 3k, so my next one is scheduled for 8k, then 13k, and so on.

Yup same here. I was 2000 miles shy..

Depends on the dealer, some will say yes most won't and will make you wait till you hit 7,500. Free alignment and balancing? Don't push your luck! Tire rotation is literally "tire rotation" front wheels will go to the rear, and rear wheels to the front, no free balancing or aligntment.

I got mine early too. But as others have said, I think you only get 3 for free.

I did mine at 5000 miles
