Default Oil change

So after the 1st oil change at 500 miles do we change oil at 7500 and every 7500 there after?

No, that's what the oil life monitor is for. When it counts down close to zero, change the oil again. Simple as that.

As with any car, you can choose to go by the oil life monitor, or just select a mileage you feel comfortable with, but at least once per year.
The OLM will also adjust for time.
