But I wouldn't hesitate to change oil earlier/more often and do so.

If you think there may be harm to the oil filler plug, etc. through an oil change you need to find another dealer - or <gasp> do this simple, quick task yourself.

It is odd this trivial issue engenders such discussion, strong opinions and controversy.
