That.

I've got 800 now. First one is free and I'll get it at 1,000 or so. Then 5,000. Then IOLM or 7,500 Max.

Not required. Just what I'm used to and it makes me feel better. Probably go straight synthetic at 5k.

I do mine every 8,000 km (4,970 miles). The oil life monitor always says I have a long way to go at this interval, but it's not a big expense so I do it for my piece of mind..

The only way to do it right...
100 miles
Then at 200 miles
Then at 500 miles
Then at 750 miles
Then at 1000 miles
Then at 1500 miles
Then at 2000 miles
Then at 3000 miles
Then at 5000
Then at 10000

Or just use the oil life monitor. That's what I do.

I only have 600 on my 2018 but I plan on doing the same as when I had my 2013 and that's when the OLM shows 10 to 15%.

Did mine at 3500 (Full Syn) because I'm going on a trip. Going to stay with FS from this point forward. First vehicle I've owned in many years that recommends Syn Blend, which, will
probably work fine but I'd just as soon stay with FS. I'll use a 6K interval and keep an eye on the % indicator just for reference.
