2009 Iridium Silver C63
Maintenance: Time vs. Mileage

My car is not my daily driver (i have a little Tacoma X-runner as my DD) so I'm no where near the 10000 miles. Maintenance tracker is showing 15 days til next Service B but I've only gone about 6500 mile since the last service. I'm doing DYI oil changes at every 4000 so not worried about old oil being in there for all 10000 miles or 1 yr. Should I just wait hit the next 10000 mile interval or take it in at the 1 yr mark?

You should be at Service A then...which is only an oil change, coolant check and other basic stuff. if youre doing DIY oil changes then I wouldnt bother. Service B entails more.

Does anyone know if NOT following recommended maintenance schedule causes warranty issues?
