They will cover it at 15,000 miles or when the computer indicates it's time for a change. I prefer to change at 6,000 miles. I believe its on my dime if I want to change the oil sooner.
There appears to be much debate between following the manufacturers recommended oil change or shorter intervals.
I prefer to change at 6,000 mainly because the car has been driven hard. Repeated hard acceleration and driving 120 to 150 mph several hours on end in the European autobahn I'm certain takes it toll on the general wear and tear of internals not to mention lubricants.
Just a personal preference.
