For 2002, you could get free servicing within 2,000 miles of the interval, so for the 10K service, you could get it done between 8,000 and 12,000 miles--see the pic below. Dunno if this has changed for '03, check your "free maintenance program" booklet.
As for the DI, they've also made claims that it was improved for '02, but we've already seen '02 failures... so I doubt it's been improved--if anything, the new black ones are less reliable than the old red ones.
On the other hand, I doubt yours will fail at such a low mileage, but if you have time, you may as well buy a spare on eBay or eEuroparts.com!
Does the '03 come with a free year of OnStar? Might as well buy $20 worth of cellular minutes--the OnStar cellphone is a powerful (Verizon) analog unit that'll get reception even in the sticks!
