As for the dealer not even looking at the car, I suspect that you need an appointment. If you had mentioned the liability aspect of the ABS, I am sure they would have checked it.

The oil change intervals would depend on the OP's driving habits and when he feels comfortable with changing his oil.
The owners manual states a 7500 mile oil change under regular circumstances. Can you go longer? Sure can, but would it be good for your car? Maybe, Maybe not. If you arent doing heavy driving ex. Track and AutoX you might be fine going longer. I personally dont trust an oil past 7K and wouldnt have the peace of mind to keep it longer than that. I like my oil changes at 5K and the 1st one much earlier than that.
Oh and if u go 15K miles and something goes wrong, your manufacturer can deny coverage because you went past the recommended oil change interval by double.
