Default GT2Rs first oil change

Hello all. My 2019 GT2RS has 5200 miles and my car computer is alerting me to schedule an oil change in 30 days. Is the first oil change free or complimentary. Should I change the oil once a year or at 10000 miles which ever comes first?

Thank you for yore input.

Yes you should and no, maintenancing your car is your cost and responsability. No one elses.
I change my oil every 7000miles. My oil is never in the engine for more than a year at the time.

Starting with 2018, I believe the first service is included. I know on my friends 2018 GT3, his first oil change was included.

I typically do 2-3k miles on my GT3 every year, so I do an oil change every year based on time.

Once a year! Because once fresh motor oil is ran in an engine the micro contaminants from an internal combustion engine gets in the oil. 10K mile is based on regular driving to burn off some of the contaminants. At our shop we recommend first oil change on a new car to be less than 5K miles for street use only, 1K for track. This link is to a thread of taking European Delivery of our GT2RS and pics of first oil change- https://rennlist.com/forums/991-gt3-...il-change.html

On a NEW street motor - probably 50, 1000, 3000 miles from then onward. Folks say that a UOA can be used to be more accurate, I don't bother, track motor - probably every 4-6 days with a UOA

Cheap insurance...
