Oil change frequency

I have a 2026 Outback XT Touring, love it! This is my fourth Subaru, so I am not new to the brand. I have just under 5000 miles on it, and today the dealer calls and says they recommend an oil change at 5000 miles so they want to schedule it. I say Subaru says every 6000 miles, so why should it do the oil at 5000? Well, this is just what we recommend she says. Is she just trying to pad the service center’s pocketbook? I declined, and told her I would follow Subaru’s recommendation. This kind of thing makes me want to look for another service spot for oil changes (which I probably would have done anyway).!
