I'm not sure why the dealer would recommend you service it less often than the manufacturer says....that seems backwards.
It generally depends on your climate. If you live in a warm climate, you should follow the standard interval for oil changes as listed in your manual. If you live in the Northern US or Canada, you should follow the severe schedule.
Mine are listed in KM's, but the severe schedule is every 6000km, or roughly 3500 miles. I would say that the normal weather schedule probably suggests every 5000 miles. Be sure to check out the back of your manual, that's the best way to go.
