This kind of question comes up all the time. Details are in the FAQ and you could also search the board.

The short answer is: Oil is cheap and engines are expensive. Change your oil and filter every 5000 miles or 1 year, whichever comes first, if you want your engine to last.

They're not in the business of maintaining cars, after you're done at the dealer they won't see you again unless it's warranty work, if you have a decent mechanic. They're in the business of selling cars, and they can't wait until yours breaks down so they can sell you a new one to replace it.
