Dealer Oil Changes and the Service Indicator
It's not that bad. Just keep changing the oil and flushing the fluids based on time, and don't reset the OBC until it actually tells you that you've come due for a service. When that happens, perform the service that's come due and then reset the OBC.
One note, though - if you keep the car for a long time and continue to accumulate miles as slowly as you're currently doing, you'll have to customize the maintenance schedule a little bit. For example, your supercharger drive belt isn't due to be changed until "Inspection II", but at the rate you're going that might take 30 years, which would be a little bit excessive.
