Am I past due the oil change?

I bought my G37 last September 4th, so now it has about 2580 Miles on,
I recall the service manual said every 3 month OR 3750 Miles, so should I follow the 3 month due period or 3750?

Please advise, many thanks

I would not let the break in oil stays in the engine longer than the break in schedule which is 1200mi.

Take it in for the steering. They replaced my clock spring, and all better! Also with the oil, I go by whatever comes first.

I waited until 3700 miles even though it was more than 3 months. It really won't make a difference...but if it makes you feel better.

They threw me a great deal 15K or equivalents to one year of service for free.
Now , do you guys have any suggestions that I could utilize this? I mean there is no way I could hit 15K with only 20 Miles/Day work to home routine plus weekends roughly 30miles/2 days.

I wanted to make dealers pay for me.
