Looks like the PO drank the factory Kool-Aid about recommended 15,000 oil change for the first one, then wised up.

Well it was 1 year or 15k. I suppose it's possible someone could have gone 3-4 years on the factory oil, but I suspect it is more likely that 2007 was just the oldest records available and/or it was serviced elsewhere prior.

Lets hope so, hate to think they went 3 years on the same oil. This spread sheet was based on receipts that came with the car.
