Warranty covered service schedule?

I have a 2007 over 1 year old barely hitting 13,000 miles. I got a oilchange at 7000 miles and I just noticed I got a service call last month. Should I wait till 15,000 miles before I take it in ? I don't want to pay anything for a service since there is nothing wrong with it. Any idea?

You're saying you didn't do the 7k change at the dealer right? If you're going to keep that 7k oil change schedule why not just go in when you're almost at this next interval @14k already? It's free anyway... once a year.

Oil change schedule is every 15k or once a yr. At 13k, it's your SA's discretion whether they will perform a full service oil change. Mine was topped off at 10k because I went over a yr then I brought it back when it hit 15k for full service oil change.

^ I'll be at only 4k at my 1year mark. Are you also saying they won't full-service change my oil?

My dealer told me that the oil change/service is free once a year OR every 15K miles. Whatever comes first.

That will be up to your SA. I am not sure exactly what they do when it's not a full service oil change but I do know they didn't reset my oil indicator until I hit one yellow bar.

I did the oilchange at 7k from the dealer. I just want to know what the free service intervals were at so I can take it in

idrive should tell you when you are due for service. however, change the oil every 7500 miles or so. the secret is to not reset the "meter" in between the freebies from the dealer. my first free service came up at about 16k miles per idrive.

what do you mean by "i got a service call last month"? if the dealer wants you to come in, why wouldn't you?
