there are two reasons for the 10k mile service.
1. shows a lower cost of ownership, especially if you have the stealer perform the service.
2. minimalist approach to get the car out of warrenty.
Actually you could probably do nothing to the car and have it go 50K miles. Of course I'm not willing to try it.
I remember Audi offering to free scheduled service before I bought my Saab. Of course they wanted you to go 10-15k miles before oil changes. I think BMW does the same thing.
You can go 10-20k miles on some types of oil such as really good synthetics (amsoil, maybe Mobil 1), some dino oils too (Kendal, Swepco). But every person I know that does this changes the filter at 5k miles and is a traveling salesman type.
