I change oil and filter every 7.5k miles or 6 months (whichever comes first) Waiting for service indicator is too long. IIRC, the interval was set for 12k-15k miles. Even though it might be OK with LL-01 oil, that's the risk I'm not willing to take. Synthetic oil can still lubricate past 7.5k miles interval.
As for your X service record: you might have to look at the date on the parts to determine if and when they get replaced.
