I'm considering doing a pre-service interval oil service myself. Currently at 5K miles, still did not receive a service needed light.

As I understand it, the service intervals are based on individual vehicle usage, what have the average odometer readings been for your first service?

I'm nowhere near the initial service yet. Only have 3800 miles on the clock.

Personally, I never use the vehicle computer to tell me when to do an oil change. I base it on time and mileage.

There seems to be no clear cut mileage interval for oil.

Did my first oil change at 5100 miles. Doesn't hurt to do it early. Especially the first one

What oil did you replace it with? I feel like I'm going to change the oil then 1,000 miles later my oil service light is going to go on. Total waste of money.

When I use full synthetic, I go six months or 5,000 miles. Some may say I'm changing the oil too often, but it works for me.

When the remainder tells you time then it's time other than that it's a waste of Money, time & creating unnecessary pollution. You'll probably be doubling your intervals.

That's your opinion, and your welcome to it. Also, I recycle all my oil so I'm not adding any "pollution".

Pretty sure I was around 12,000 km when I did my oil change. No service reminder displayed.

Nissan is wanting and is basing their prepaid maintenance plans on 16000kms or 10000miles.

It's a fact, not really a option. Do some research, you'll probably give up the old school way of thinking.
Regular Dyno oil is good for well over 10k these days.
