Yep, that's one reason I don't mess with modern day engine tuning ...... one wrong keystroke and ...... BAM ...... no more working engine .....

So at what miles would you guys recommend that I take my 3 free services at?

I had my car for 2 months and I'm already at 3400 miles. I haven't done a single maintenance, services, oil changes etc yet.

I attached a pic of the Scion Service Boost which shows the first service is due at 7500 miles, but like a lot of you said that's probably waiting too long for the first oil change.

I'd suggest you just go with the program.

Why .. ?? Because it's easy to remember ......

In addition, sometimes I think we forget we are working with full synthetic oil here....

Gotcha. I'm still confused as to why Subaru BRZ's first service is done at 3000 miles though.

Well, now, @Drive ..... the way I read the US BRZ schedule 1, is that there isn't a letter in the box for a crankcase oil or filter change till 7,500 miles or 7.5 months.
