Default Low mileage service question

I have a 2015 RC350F (as you might have guessed from my name ), and I use it mostly as a weekender, as I often work from home (and when I do work remotely it sits at the airport all week). My last service (25K, at 25,800 miles) was July 7th. I now have 27,400 miles. MY RC was a CPO and I have a couple of free service entitlements remaining. Is there any reason for me to get my 30K before I actually hit 30K, even if it's a year or more after the 25K?

Thanks, as always, for your opinions.

Get it serviced bc the routine maintenance schedule is BOTH based on mileage AND time.

Also to keep the CPO warrant, you need to have it serviced per routine maintenance schedule. If not, you risk non coverage should something abnormal come up.

My 4 free oil changes were completed within 2 years since the service manual states oil change every 6 months. Only put about 8,000 miles, in this 2 year timeframe.

Mine was the 35K service - the last of my four freebies, performed over 30 months. 13K miles over those months. Interestingly, my (dealer) service advisor told me NOT to change the oil every six months, but every 10K miles or one year, whichever is first.
