Can I delay my complimentary maintenance?

Yes, you should be able to do that. I don't put a lot of miles on my ES, and that is what I did. At 6 months, I didn't bother to take the car to the dealer, which, for me, involves a 200 mile round trip, because I wasn't close to 5000 miles. At about the 1 year point, I took the car to the dealership and had the 10,000 mile/1 year service done even though I was well short of 10,000 miles.
No, I don't think you would be able to do that. Only 1 of the complimentary services is for an oil change. You will end up using that one at 1 year.

Thanks, I'll try to do that this weekend.

If I get the 1 yr / 10,000 service, I can't later get a 6th month / 5K service, it was only available during that window of time.
It might be a moot point, because if I continue to have such low mileage (due to current low mile commute), then I'll probably always need an oil change with it.
However, if at some point my driving habits changed, and it was time only for a tire rotation, it would have been nice to still have this in my pocket and use it eventually.

They said if I didn't get the 6th month / 5k service, I missed it.

From reading previous threads, I learned that this dealership is one of the ones that takes the syn oil out of large drums that they keep in their service areas, not even from individual packaged bottles.....

The service interval between the annual/10K miles service intervals are really a waste of money and time. It's literally just a tire rotation. So I wouldn't sweat over losing out on the one useless complimentary service. Just take it to your local tire shop and they can rotate the tires for you (some free of charge).
