10K, then 5K thereafter depending on type of oil used. That's rule of thumb, though.

Default thanks NOT bhvrdr...however, I may do one earlier
I just dont see how oil can last that long...especially when driven "somewhat" hard on a daily basis.

First scheduled change is at 5K for the 2004 and every 10K after.

Default I suggest 5k, also @10k, 20k, 30k. ACEA A3 oil's useable up to 8000mi/6mo or VW 503.01 15,000mi/1yr
Keeping it topped with the same type oil for long drain intervals. I would just forget everything and use Mobil 1 5w-40 Truck & SUV, aka Delvac-1 yearly.
