Default When do you service your vehicle - by distance or by time?

The Ford manual recommends service intervals every 15,000km or no later than 12 months since previous service for the FG X.

I drive less than 15,000km per year. However I have always scheduled service every 15,000km. The latest service is 17 months since the previous service.

Going a little beyond 12 months between services should not be a major problem. I understand leaving intervals too far apart causes issues as for example oil begins to oxidise.

What is the longest time you've had between services and what did you notice?
