I just scheduled my first oil change even though I have only had the car for a couple of months. It'll be at 3000 miles. Future changes I'll do at 5000, but this first one I want out of the way.

I put a lot of miles on my car & I want to use all 5 of the free oil changes in the first 2 years. This 7500 mile thing seems a little wrong to me. Not so much because of the oil, but the filter needs to be changed at earlier intervals IMHO.
