I'm not sure what year you are talking about, but for newer models, the recommended interval is kind of confusing. The warranty covers scheduled maintenance, which is at 15000, 30000, etc. miles. The SID will even tell you the oil is fine until you hit those intervals. In the manual though, the recommended oil change interval is 5000 miles. It seems to me those oil changes should fall under scheduled maintenance too, but I guess they doesn't. This is confusing and misleading.
