I am with you. Looking at this, the most I will go is probably 7500. But this messs up the schedule. I will also do it at 5000, 15000, 25000, and let dealers do 10000, 20000, 30000. After, i will check oil analysis and see if I keep the 5000 or switch to 7500.
Doing oil change at home with such a high clearance car is a walk in the park, much eaiser than make an appointment and drop car off to dealer, then pick at the end of the day. And DIY oil change is very inexpensive too. FCP Euro even life time warranty the material on your 2nd purchase. No reason not to do it IMO.
