Bob, not sure what happens in the good ol' US of A, but just apply a little bit of common sense here.
Change the oil every 6,000 miles unless you leave the car idle for more than 3 months at a time.
Take the service light bulb out and throw it away.
From Death Valley to Alaska the oil WILL cope with the extremes of climate and driving conditions- the only exception I would appreciate is if you are racing this vehicle.
I don't believe the ECU on these cars is advanced enough to put the vehicle into "limp home" mode if the service light is not reset, though please take advice on this. There is a limp home mode, but that will bring the Lamda light on. This normally happens if a sensor fails, for example, the knock sensor.
Trust me, I'm a mechanic ;@)
