I have a new Corolla Cross that just hit 5,000 miles. My car indicator came up saying “maintenance needed” but I know the Toyota manual says to do first oil change at 10,000

My dealership won’t pay for a 5K oil change so if it’s not necessary, I won’t waste money to do it. I’m not a car person so I don’t know how necessary it is doing it at its first 5,000

For info, I typically drive about 25 miles total a day to commute.

    Toyota recommends 10k mile oil change under ideal conditions. Real life is not ideal conditions, Change every 5k miles. When you change yourself and see, feel, smell the oil at 5k you will be happy you did at 5k intervals
