I have always thought the time interval for cars is a bit of a scam nowadays. Way back in history when they still used actual oil it could indeed lose some of it's properties just sitting in a car. The modern synthetics will stay good forever if not use or contaminated in some manner.

Follow the schedule until warranty is up and then change at the appropriate mileage.
Never thought of this. I am still under warranty and the dealer changes the oil every year. In the last service the oil had just 1k miles and the dealer changed it. When the warranty is over, I'll keep the oil longer ...
