Default When to Chip?

3,500 miles on my 2 month old car 2001.5 QMS. Trying to decide when to chip

A.) 5000 Miles - after first service and happy it's a lemon-free car.

B.) 10,000 Miles - after second service, more certain it's a lemon-free car.

C.) When my Credit Cards are paid off - as a gift to myself.

Any thoughts on A & B (and C - which would likely come between A & B).

It's like frosted mini-wheats. The adult in me says "C", the kid in me says "now"

Default Would 10,000 miles be when you have SAVED $500 past payment of CC's? If so I'd say B

Of course I just paid off mine. Interest alone was costing me $145 a month.

BTW, the second service is at 15,000 not at 10,000.

5000/service on a 1.8T, 7500/service on a 2.8 - right?
