Default Service Interval: 3000 miles on computer?

New A6 2.7T; first day service reminder said 10,000 miles to next service. After 3 weeks and 1000 miles, it now says 2000 miles to next service. Does that mean it has a computer calculating the time/distance to required oil change? Audi pays for the 10,000 mile service; what have others done for the in-between service? My dealer is 50 miles from here.

Default Computer looks at driving style and can measure

oil quality based on opacity (or so I'm told!)
So yes, the time/miles to next service would adjust up or down as needed...

Doesn't Audi pay for all service for 4yrs/50k miles? (i.e. actually upto 50k miles, not just "the 50k mile service", so it doesn't matter when your "10,000 mile service" is done...
