Thanks for all the responses. I should probably clarify a couple of things, though.
The contract I'm talking about is not something I paid for. It's something that the dealer is giving customers for buying a car. Oil and filter changes " at the time or mileage intervals stated in the maintenance schedule of your Nissan Service and Maintenance Guide." I didn't know I was going to get this until after I bought the car, so I really can't complain much if I have to pay for the oil changes.
I just want Nissan to confirm that it won't effect the warranty if I just bring the car in every 4 or 5 months. The dealer is telling me that I need to follow the schedule 1 mileage requirement of 3,750 miles but I can ignore the time requirement. Regardless of whether I pay the $30 for the oil change or not, I just want some official word on whether the 3 months can be ignored.
I totally agree with the responses pointing out that it won't hurt the car to go longer between oil changes. It would save me time and money and the oil isn't going to go bad from age in 5 months.
