Default It's been 1 year and 3600 miles

Hi guys, should I still do the oil change or my first service even with low miles? it has been 1 year exactly and I have enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks

Yes, change your oil at least once a year regardless of the low miles.

Agree with above post, cheap insurance and will keep you on a 1 year cadence going forward if you continue to keep the miles below 5,000/year.

I like to think of the annual service visit much like my own annual wellness exam. Is it absolutely necessary/time critical? Probably not. But it is good insurance and as well an opportunity to catch any other burgeoning issues that may be much more easily managed when caught early.
