Normal CBS regime in Europe. Whichever comes first.

Many have used this regime for years without issue. But as said, if you intend to keep long term, say 100,000+ miles, interim oil changes may give more peace of mind for reliability and longevity.

Saying that, type of use can have more impact than simply miles.
