Sounds like Steve drives with his headlights on all the time & is pretty on top of that! He mentioned putting his last new headlight in a couple weeks ago & being out of spares. In a way the Mirage has automatic headlights (just leave your headlight switch on all the time), & I believe Steve has mentioned doing that.
5W-30 conventional oil & filter changed every 5,000 miles appears to be serving you well. I wonder what the record is for free oil changes? You're almost @ 50!
Your dealership's practices would turn some Mirage customers off. Some would claim it's not recommended 0W-20 synthetic oil. I sort of like the fact that you don't let these things bother you. Conventional oils aren't necessarily cheap any more either. 5000 mile oil change intervals for conventional oils is the new norm.
Personally, I don't care much for dealerships. If I lived close to one that offered free oil changes however, I wouldn't pass that up.

When this car hits 300k post it in the main forum!
Hi do you have tips on your driving style? It would greatly help the community to prolong their car's life
My 2015 just had the it's 'third birthday' and the dealership sent me a coupon for a $20 oil change. They are normally $50. No matter. At the rate I put on miles (about 5-6K per year), the car will out last me. 5K is my interval for oil changes - mainly because it is easy to remember.
250,151 miles Replaced car battery.
This morning it took a few tries to get the car to start. The battery seemed to be weak and on the third attempt, it barely turned the engine over but it did start the car.
I then drove straight to Walmart to get the battery tested. The battery failed their test and they replaced it for free under warranty.
The battery they replaced was purchased October, 8 2017 at 170k miles.
For those that want to know, I am using an Everstart Plus Group 35 battery that includes a two year exchange warranty. Honestly I would have purchased a battery with a better warranty when I made this purchase but this was the best they had in stock.

Less than 20 months is not a long battery life, but a free replacement is good.
Does a replacement battery come with the same warranty?
Had a car go through mufflers once. Purchased one & got 7 free ones from Midas. Car was on its 9th muffler when I sold it.
You're almost due for another free oil change soon!
