This is a topic that has been discussed in depth within this and many other forums (everyone has an opinion).
The long and short of it is, ŠKODA servicing schedule is 12mth or 15,000kms (whichever comes first).
Only you can determine the above by how many kms you actually travel.
Personally with my Superb (and all my previous VAG vehicles) I dealer service at 12mths and replace the oil in addition every alternate 6mths...
As for the oil spec, don't over think it.
The spec is VW 504 00 / 507 00...
I have been using Castrol Edge 5W-30 LL for as long as it has been available.

Yes, oil is ALWAYS a talking point and I agree everyone has an opinion.
I’ll be doing no more than 10,000km a year.
504.00 seems to be the correct spec however the sticker under the hood says 502.00 can be used which opens options up a bit.
Prefer Castrol so will likely use the Edge LL

Funny you ask this, I'll be doing my half service oil drop in 1000km or so, easy to do at home.
I've got/used Castrol 5w-30 and 5w-40 which I think is 502. Tbh it doesn't really matter if your changing it every 7.5k.
Try and buy the 6L version as the capacity is about 5.7L, some up on special every few months at SCA/Repco etc.
I even bought the oil drain tool as I was damaging the plastic drain plug to much for my liking.

Thanks again, good info.
I haven’t decided if I’ll do an oil change between dealer services yet. I did it religiously on my old car but I’ll wait and see on this one. Already it seems that the oil stays pretty clean.
If so, you’re probably right, a 502.00 would be fine with more frequent changes.
Argh, another tool to buy and a plastic drain plug?! Whhyyyy *
