How are these service intervals for a 2018 RDX with 39k?

Hi All!
I am considering buying a 2018 RDX with 39k. The carfax looks clean, with service intervals seeming to be once every 7k-8k. Is this too long? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Looks quite normal and in line with the mileage my car takes between oil changes.

If you do not want to get oil consumption due to VCM, do an oil change no later than 20-30 oil life.
The rest of the service you can do according to this sheet.

Thanks for the screenshot! What is VCM?

This is a good system that saves fuel well on a highway, with good service, this system does not affect the life of the engine. My RDX has 185k miles and oil consumption is exactly 0

I have a 2013 with 121k miles, and as far as I can tell there's no issues with VCM.
