From the factory I believe the interval is 15,000 miles (24000 kilometers). If you are worried, just go ahead and change the oil now. I don't think you can change the oil to 'frequently'.

It is a prudent decision to change the oil & filter once between every "oil service." While good synthetics can reach 15k miles without trouble, it is really pushing the limits of the oils, especially if you are driving lots of short distances, in cold weather, etc. By changing every 7500 miles you are eliminating any concern the oil may not make the 15k interval and start to sludge or varnish.

Thats what i do, every 7500 miles, and best of all, im about ot reach my 50K mark, and i asked my service guy about not resetting it blah blah so he gave me a free oil change when it was in the middle of my 15k and before i get to 50 ill get another one also, NOW, the only thing i am thinking about is the warrenty should i or should i not? an di have only 2500 miles left to decide too........
