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.

    Absolutely get your oil changed now. Toyota wants you to wait until 10,000 miles so that your engine won’t last as long as it otherwise would and you will have to buy a new car sooner.
