Yes. After the service tech pulled up my credentials I asked basically what was included. She mentioned tire rotation. Didn't think that was in the cards, but thought maybe they switch the front-only from left to right and vice versa, to account for outside lateral wear.

The manual states it for conventional oil. When I used conventional before switching over to F.S, I still changed it once a year or 5K then put it away for winter. I decided to go to F.S and still maintain the 5K Interval or yearly when I put it away in November. If you are changing the oil at 6mnth intervals and only have 2-3K on it, imo u are wasting $$. Unless under extreme conditions, dusty roads, and or tracking it.

Yokohama Advans. Summer tires. Work just fine in the cold; roads here mostly clean and dry. Re salt damage: I know. But if I store the car I flirt with rodent damage, tire damage, and withdrawal pains. Besides, I looked carefully at the LC last time it was up in the air, and there’s not too much ferrous under there.

Yes, I was set up for the free service.
I am fortunate with the location of my dealer: it's a half mile from where I work, so I can drop it off and hoof it. And typically someone I know offers to pick me up along the way. Frankly, I'd rather walk, but I won't decline their generosity!

You are correct, that is what the owners manual calls for.
It does not specify what type of oil,, synthetic or dino.
It does not specity brand of oil. It does call for oil and filter change every 6 months or 5,000 miles with 5w-30 that meets the ILSAC GF-6A standards. Everyone wants to give their 2 cents and justify the oil and interval they think the car needs. If a person wants to do it yearly because of low miles, go ahead. You just saved yourself $80. I will state one fact that is hard to dispute. Changing oil every 6 month or 5,000 miles, whichever one occurs first is not going to be detrimental in any way.

Dyno will probably be in January now. Have a buddy with an RCF and another with a GSF both with headers and were recently tuned by the same person as well, so they also want to dyno. Trying to find a day that aligns with all parties including the tuner for any adjustments once on dyno
