why would you change your oil off schedule? its covered by your service and not really needed until 12k or 1 year...

[/quote]For me Because I plan on keeping the car for a while and flushing the new engine metal particles out of it is important to me. And I dont like 15K mile changes... I'll do it once in between and then let the dealer do the schedule one. One oil change will not kill my wallet. Its $80 I am willing to spend.
If I leased the car hell... I dont care I'll change it at 30K miles for all I care.
