My new to me used Skoda (from the same stable) had something very similar about checks by the dealership but no service.
These cars monitor the users driving style and adjust the service interval. Mine has done 16k from new and advising the FIRST service to be in 38 days or 3500 miles whichever comes first.
This will be its first oil change.EEK!
I remember the days of running a new engine in, driving like a nun and the first oil service at 500miles mainly rinse the swarf out the engine. Oil drain plugs had magnets in them and yes they did attract little bits of metal.

I seem to recall there was a particular engine design or batch of engines that drank oil and only after a long fight did Audi admit a degree of responsibility and contribute to the cost for repairs.
