When to change oil..?

I've driven my 03 MCS 10.000 kms since I last changed the oil. However, the speedo tells me that there is approximately 15.000 kms until next oil change.

Can this be correct? I've usually changed every 10.000 kms on my previous cars, so I find it a bit strange to be driving 25.000 without doing anyting...

In general, yes, just make sure you check the oil level regularly and top up if necessary.
However, oil does age, so you should change it every two years, at least.
