Is this 5200 miles total on the car or just 5200 you have put on it?

If its the first 5200 miles of the car then your past the break in period and need to change the oil, the first oil change is done early to get out all the excessive lubrication (zinc based for the engine building) out of the oil thats in it and replace it with 100% oil.

If it's got more than that then they just want flag hours and they are hoping to gouge you with extras while your there. Cost of oil is minor in a free oil change if they get you for more services while your there.
