First service and tire rotation is free after 5k miles at least in US.

sales will tell you that is 10k miles before first service, the services manual says you are entitle to a 5k tire rotation.

10k is the reg service, before 5k is complimentary check up and tire rotation to make sure car is broken in ok. Not 100% sure about oil change I think is not necessary anyways.
