It looks like you're ahead of schedule (must be some "good" service advisors at the dealership it was taken to), so I wouldn't worry too much. Remember, most of those items are just "inspection", not replacements.

So the car requires service every 8000km or 5000mi or every 4 months. It's been 6000km or 3700mi and 7 months since its last service. Should I take it to the dealer for next scheduled service which is oil change only? What about next time, when should I go for the next service? Thank you in advance guys!
