I think you need to check your Warranty ? I had not done 600 miles when my first "free" service was done, after 4 months.
I will probably drive only 2000 miles in my first year.
But I remember being told that you must have your car serviced when listed, even if you are not going far.
Could upset your Warranty if you ignore their Rules ?
Ask you Dealer anyway.

I will, i need to do that soon. hopefully next month
just to be safe on the warranty.

I've been following the recommendations in the manual - 6000 miles. I am already at 30,000 miles

If there is is FULL SYNTHETIC in your vehicle now, and I am sure there is, then 6000 should be good. What does your "in car setting" say?

I have had my SX just over a year (may 2020) and am not a high mileage driver, maybe 6-7k per year. I ignore the dealer notices and just take it for a checkup and an oil change every 6 months. Probably overkill, but I am comfortable with that. I did some extra driving this Spring and noticed that once I hit 9k, the car itself told me that it was time for service, so I am assuming that 9k is the recommended interval.

It is whatever your interval is set at. Check it in your dash computer readings

Only the turbo takes synthetic from the factory.

Not really.I have owned 5 turbos and they all took synthetic and I read an article the the Seltos turbo does take the same,

Well I have used synthetic for the past 15 years in my vehicles. This is the first turbo I have had and when found out that it had synthetic in it, I thought they finally got smart

 

[videoguy009]

Yes,you can use synthetic in cars that call for conventional oil.Turbos require synthetic oil because of the oiling needs of the turbo's bearings etc..Conventional oil just doesn't cut it in a turbo.
