In the online service schedule it states that the oil and filter change should be at 16,000km, the dealership asked for it to be done at 8000km. I would prefer to perform at closer to 16,000 as I don't feel compelled to give away money for possibly unneeded oil changes.

I haven't tracked my car, and don't drive it particularly hard usually, I treat it more like a DD with some occasional fun.
When would you get an oil change done?
There is a disclaimer stating that: 2016 MODEL YEAR SPECIAL OPERATING CONDITIONS - If you drive primarily under any of these operating conditions, you should replace the engine oil and filter 8k/6M: Driving on dirt roads or dusty roads, extensive idling and/or low-speed driving for long distances, such as police, taxi or door-to-door delivery service, towing a trailer, using a camper or car top carrier. |
Ya know, there, rkaywhodat .......although my gut tells me that the first oil change at 16,000 km would be just fine ........ I wouldn't risk crossing the dealer (in case of future warranty work) and go with their recommended first change 8,000 km.
Heck, I remember, back on the farm, we would change the oil out of the new car and put it into the old truck and take the oil out of the old truck and put it into the oldest tractor.
When I left the farm, my father had gone through 4 new cars .........and we had the same 1937 tractor and 1941 truck ....... and they both run just fine.
